Bringing the Transquadra fleet home

Sevenstar proudly supports the Transquadra Race & returns 52 yachts to Lorient

Sevenstar is proud to sponsor the Transquadra Race, an esteemed offshore sailing competition designed for experienced amateur sailors over 40 years old. This challenging transatlantic race, held every three years, consists of two stages: the first from La Turballe and Marseille to Madeira, and the second from Madeira to Martinique. The event is known for its demanding conditions, strong camaraderie, and the unforgettable experience it offers to its participants. This year, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to the winners: Alexandre Ozon, who secured his third consecutive victory in the solo category, and Éric Guigné & Tangi Caron, the top finishers in the duo category. Their outstanding performances highlight the dedication and skill required to master this race.

Our colleague Matthieu Le Bihan is present in Le Marin, Martinique, to personally congratulate the winners and engage with the sailing community. At Sevenstar, we are committed to supporting offshore racing and making more racing possible for passionate sailors around the world.

Transporting 52 yachts from Le Marin to Lorient

From March 15th to March 20th, Sevenstar Yacht Transport will load a full deck of racing yachts onto the MV Singelgracht in Le Marin, Martinique. Among these, 25 yachts competed in the Transquadra Race, alongside additional racing yachts, making for a fully loaded deck plus additional yachts stowed inside the hold.

Loading a full deck of racing yachts is much more than just a stunning drone picture, it is a carefully planned and precisely executed logistical operation. The preparation for such a shipment starts long before loading day, with meticulous planning to ensure a smooth and efficient process. Sevenstar has developed a comprehensive logistics package specifically tailored to large fleet race return shipments.

Our extensive experience with major offshore races such as the Transquadra, Cap Martinique, and Transat Paprec has allowed us to continuously refine our services to meet the exacting demands of our clients. As part of our premium, all-in solutions, we offer:

• Customs clearance
• Door-to-door shipping insurance covering pre- and on-carriage
• Riggers for repairs
• Professional skippers to deliver or collect yachts alongside
• Marina storage
• And more...

For these yacht owners, time is of the essence. Upon arrival in Martinique, they literally hand us the keys, trusting us to deliver their yacht safely back to Lorient while they return to their professional lives. Sevenstar provides a 100% hassle-free, turnkey solution, allowing them to focus on work, rebuild their resources, and prepare for the next race.

We extend our gratitude to our trusted local partner in Le Marin, Douglas Yacht Services, who ensures that all yachts are perfectly prepared, handled, and secured for transport. Their expertise and dedication make all the difference in delivering a seamless experience for yacht owners.
