Femina Challenge

Transat Québec-Saint-Malo Trophy

Where courage takes the helm

There are competitions that make the heart beat a little faster. The FEMINA Challenge, created in 2022, is one of them. The event was born to offer experienced sailors a space in which to surpass their limits, transform fear into power, and let their mastery of the gesture express itself.

Right from the start, the event rallied, inspired and magnetized. The number of participants doubled in the second year, ready to take on the technical challenges of Friday and the intensity of Saturday's course.
Out of this effervescence was born FEMINA Ocean Challenge, a gateway to one of our most ambitious dreams: to prepare a 100% women's crew to take on the world's biggest race. Transat Québec-Saint-Malo.

Here, crews don't just fight for a trophy.
They fight for what it represents: the Transat Québec-Saint-Malo Trophy, a symbol of daring, perseverance and greatness on the river.

Visit 2025, the story is enriched by a night navigation, a departure at 23 h, the inky black river, the white sails under the moon... a moment suspended between intensity and immense possibilities.

And already, the 2026 edition promises to be a new turning point, an edition where the bar will once again be raised, where new challenges will reveal the full potential of the crews.

From 2 to July, 5 2026, you're going through an ordeal that leaves its mark, that lifts you up, that transforms you.

The FEMINA Challenge is not just a competition

It's a meeting between courage, the sea... and who you really are.
