Some great pics submitted by War Eagle's Pierre de Ruelle, who recently spent the summer putting War Eagle through her paces on the Newfoundland race circuit.
Pierre: "Well the summer is going to the end in Newfoundland, it's blowing harder and harder, and WAR EAGLE has completed 25 % of the updating. Somebody in the blog write: WAR EAGLE is not prepared for offshore racing like OSTAR, he was completely right. Almost everything have to be changed!!!! But she still a strong, fast, responsive, loyal girl, the love of my life!!!! I plan the mid of september to get back to Montreal, work hard, and coming back the next spring as soon as possible to lead the boat updating."Good luck with the rennovations, Pierre -- please keep us posted on your improvements!

Having done the same thing in a Swan 36 "Banjaard" (OSTAR 2009) it takes four years to prepare, so good luck!
BEING PART OF THE ORIGINAL CREW OF
THE 'GIRL' I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE HAD OUR BEST YEAR WITH HER IN OUR
THIRD YEAR. POLTER GHOST.
I expect Pierre with his plans for the race this coming summer will be the beginning of the real test and knowing the many challenges of Offshore racing with a good solid boat he should have no concerns
I wish him the best of luck
