Route Halifax St. Pierre 2010 - Images from the start

by Guy Perrin on 11 Jul 2010 Halifax harbor docks were lined with spectators watching the start of the 2010 Route Halifax St. Pierre Ocean Race, a world class offshore event held every two years (opposite the Marblehead - Halifax race) from Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada to Saint-Pierre, France off of beautiful coastal Newfoundland.

Three dozen yachts are taking part in the race this year, from all-out racers such as Spirit of Canada, an Open 60 and Océan Phénix, a Volvo 60 to more familiar C&C 35 and CS36 cruisers.
