Sailing East to West from Ireland to Canada

Hi
I have to bring a boat from Ireland to Canada Feb 2025. She's a strong high lat boat and i would have no issues with her safety.
What would be the best route ? has anybody ever done it?
I know its not a good time of year but I wouldnt be in aposition to do it any other time.
Thanks for any tips

Re: Sailing East to West from Ireland to Canada

This must be some kind of troll???

You're going to attempt to take a northern lat. route east to west from Ireland to Canada, effectively against the North Atlantic drift.....in the heart of hurricane season???

Technically, if you take the North Atlantic current, to the Irminger current, to the East Greenland current, to the West Greenland current, to the Labrador current, you can end up in Canada. But you'll get there by way of Baffin Island.

It will be very high lat. and a horrible time of year to be in the north atlantic.
