Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race
Just comitted to crewing on MacIntosh, a Lake Ontario famous Cartwright 44 with:
Dick Stegenga
John Stegenga
Michael Cullen
Kevin Williams
Peter Smith (working on him)
The race begins on July 7th at noon. It's 363 nautical miles to Halifax. The race for us would likely finish sometime Tuesday afternoon. The following weekend is the LO300. If we race the Marblehead this year our place will count towards a combined trophy with the following years Newport Bermuda 2014 or Halifax St. Pierre 2014. All three of these races are great offshore events that would be on any decent sailors bucket list. Having Macintosh in Nova Scotia with new sails and Dick is keen to race her is a real opportunity for us.
We would sail with a crew of six. Dick, his brother John and the four of us. We would share expenses for entry fees and to prep the boat for a Category Two Offshore Race. Of course we would want to fly to Boston and back from Halifax to make the LO300.
