We are doing the Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race again this year on MacIntosh.

It is 363 nautical mile race from Boston to Halifax.
The race runs even other year, and we have done it in 2013 and 2015.

Here is a digital print of our track in 2013:

We came in 2nd place in our division by 20 seconds that year (3rd overall):
