Convoy Cup 2025 - Coastal Races

Dartmouth Yacht Club and the Convoy Cup Foundation are proud to host and coordinate HRM's premier coastal ocean race! The Convoy Cup Foundation was founded over 20 years ago by Steinar Engeset and past commodore Jim Jerram in order to preserve the memory of the historical contribution of the port of Halifax to the convoy lifeline to Europe during World War II. We also commemorate the courageous men and women of the merchant marine, navy, and air force.

As the memory of the Battle of the Atlantic and World War II sink further into the past, Dartmouth Yacht Club, and the Convoy Cup Foundation, are dedicated to making this important part of our history accessible to the latest generation and all generations to come.
