The Transat Saint-Barth – Port la Forêt (formerly the Transat B to B) will celebrate its third edition this December 2015. Run in the years preceding the Vendée Globe and created to serve as a solo qualifier on the way back from the Transat Jacques Vabre, the Transat Saint-Barth – Port la Forêt is obviously a lot more than that. A training course in similar conditions to those in the Vendée Globe, a confrontation between skippers and boats of different generations and a final technical trial prior to the winter refits, it is the perfect springboard with a view to the events scheduled for 2016.
