“We’re thrilled to be a supporter of such a prestigious sailing event here in Halifax” stated President Rob Steele, a member of the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, co-sponsor of the MHOR with the Boston Yacht Club.

“The Steele dealerships have been involved in sponsoring events at the Squadron in the past,” and was our title sponsor in 2015 says co-chair Will Greenwood.  “So we are extremely happy to welcome back this company and its support for this classic international race.  Corporate support is crucial for our success in hosting hundreds of sailors here in Halifax.”
