Created in 2002 by Philippe Paturel and the late Hal Davies, the 350-mile ocean race that connects Halifax to the French Archipelago of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon every two years is one of the big events of offshore sailing race in North America.

Arrival in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon 36 to 48 hours later, record to beat: 29 hours!
