MARBLEHEAD TO HALIFAX OCEAN RACE

One of the longest running ocean races in North America, the Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race was started in 1905 as a friendly competition between yachts sailing between Marblehead, MA and Halifax. The race was run sporadically until 1939, when the Boston Yacht Club (third oldest yacht club in the United States) teamed forces with the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron (the oldest yacht club in North America) and formalized the biennial event. Since that time, the Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race has run continuously, alternating with the Newport Bermuda Race, as the pre-eminent North Atlantic Ocean Race.

Over 20 perpetual trophies are awarded, recognizing special accomplishments such as team challenges, the fastest double-handed yacht, and the fastest all-women’s yacht, in addition to division and class winners.
