B&G and the 2021 Transat Jacques Vabre

Since the creation of the race in 1993, B&G has been supporting both mono and multihull sailors battle trade winds and high pressure systems to race across the Atlantic on this famous route which was originally based on the historical “Coffee Route” between France and Brazil. 2021 sees a major change with the finish now in Martinique, with the 4 classes (Class 40, Imocas, Multi 50 and Ultim) all sailing different routes, with the aim of finishing around the same time.

B&G is proud to be the trusted choice of so many sailors competing in the Transat Jacques Vabre
