For its 6th edition, the Transat Quebec / St Malo in 2004 started from Quebec on Sunday, July 11, 2004 to Saint Malo. This ocean race with a crew of at least three people, succeeds traditionally the single-handed trans-Atlantic race: The Transat. The fleet was composed initially of 12 multihulls of 60 feet, 4 multihulls of 50 feet and 3 monohulls of 50 feet. In 60-feet multihull category, the race was won by Karine Fauconnier and her crew on the trimaran Sergio Tacchini in 7 days 21 hours and 54 seconds. She thus approaches the record of the event directed by Loic Peyron during the 1996 edition in 7 days 20 hours and 24 minutes on Fujicolor II. Franck-Yves Escoffier won the 50 feet multihull class on Crêpes Whaou!. Finally, in 50-feet monohull class, Marina Fort Louis Ile de Saint won.
