Transatlantic sailing record

{{Short description|Fastest boat voyage between Europe/Africa and the Americas}}

Image:Banque populaire5-003.jpg, current record holder]]

Since the five-week voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1492, quickly and safely crossing the Atlantic Ocean between Europe and the Americas has always been an important issue. Today, the route has become a classic one among skippers. The record is one of the most prestigious, next to the Jules Verne Trophy, for which it is often a good preparation.

This record can be achieved both ways: from west to east or from east to west. It can also be homologated single-handed or crewed, on monohulls or on multihulls.

It is homologated, since 1972, by the WSSRC{{Cite web|url=https://www.sailspeedrecords.com/ratified-passage|title=Ratified Passage|website=www.sailspeedrecords.com}}

From west to east

This route is the fastest, as it follows the prevailing westerlies. It is the one that meets the most interest among skippers.

The crossing must be made from Ambrose Light of New York to an imaginary line linking Lizard Point, Cornwall to Ushant. The distance is around {{convert|2880|nmi}}.
