	Class 40 Fleet finishes their Marblehead to Halifax Race Tuesday, June 10 2008 The seven boat fleet of the Class 40 offshore sailboats finished the first North American race for this exciting new boat. They sailed in steady winds as a close group across the Gulf of Maine and turned the corner at Brazil Rock in a bunch. Along the coast of Nova Scotia variable conditions separated the fleet somewhat, but the spread of finish times of less than seven hours was much tighter than in usual in the Marblehead to Halifax.  Pictures... The winner was Cheeky Too - Novedia, skippered by Tanguy De Lamotte, second place was Custo Pol with Halvard Mabire, and third 40 Degrees with Miranda Merron. The awards ceremony at the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron featured guest speaker Sir Robin Knox-Johnson, who sailed and won the first solo nonstop circumnavigation in 1969. Most of the fleet had previously completed the single handed Artemis Transat and were next moving to Quebec City for the start of the Quebec to Saint Malo transatlantic race back to Europe.
	First North American Class 40 Race Marblehead-to-Halifax June 8, 2008 One of the most exciting recent developments in performance offshore sailing has been the growth of the International Class 40. Several of the best boats and skippers are sailing into Boston early Summer 2008 in the Artemis Solo Transat. As these boats sail North towards Quebec for the start of the Quebec to Saint Malo race returning to Europe, the Boston Yacht Club and the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron have teamed up to host the first C40 trophy in North America. These two clubs will utilize the same infrastructure and considerable race management experience accumulated during the running of the biannual Marblehead to Halifax (MHOR). This race has 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 joined with the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron 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. This edition of the MHOR for 2008 will exclusively be for boats in the Class 40 and will count for the Class 40 World Championship. The Entry Deadline is 1800 EDT, 1 June 2008
