The Boston Yacht Club, the Royal Nova
Scotia Yacht Squadron, the Cruising Club of America, and
the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club have sponsored a major new
trophy for offshore yacht racing: the Olin J. Stephens
Ocean Racing Trophy, to be awarded to skippers competing
in consecutive
Newport Bermuda and Marblehead-to-Halifax Ocean
races.
The Olin J. Stephens Trophy was awarded for the first
time in Halifax, Nova Scotia, to
Peter Rebovich, Sr. on Sinn Fein,
based on combined performance in the 2006 Centennial
Newport Bermuda Race and the 2007 Marblehead-to-Halifax
Race. Eligibility for Marblehead-to-Halifax yachts has
been extended to both IRC and PHRF Racing Divisions.
More OJS Trophy Details here.
Mr. Rebovich kept his hold on the prestigious Olin J.

History of the Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race
The running of the 2009 Marblehead-to-Halifax
Ocean Race (MHOR) is preceded by a long and prestigious
history. The race began in 1905 as an informal
competition among sailors from the Boston, Eastern, and
New York Yacht Clubs. The race was run sporadically
until 1939, when the Boston Yacht Club (BYC)
joined with the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron (RNSYS)
to formalize a biennial event. Since that time, the
Marblehead-to-Halifax Ocean Race has run regularly on
alternate years from the Newport Bermuda Race, as one of
the pre-eminent ocean races of the North Atlantic.
