Mark Your Calendars – Racing Dates for the 2021 Season
As many Lake Ontario sailors are safely storing their sailboats for the coming winter, we are excited to share with you the dates for the 2021 Racing Season.
Having successfully organized three distance races during the recent 2020 Racing Season, firstly we’d like to congratulate some of our 2020 Racing winners:
o Race #4 - Murray Gainer of Ashbridges Bay Yacht Club sailing Lively, a J-109. Murray completed the 19 NM race with a Corrected Time of 4:13:25 hours and 46 boats crossed the Finish Line.
o Race #5 – Rossi Miles of PCYC sailing Quest, a Melges-32. Rossi completed the 19 NM race with a Corrected Time of 2:26.32 hours and 39 boats crossed the Finish Line.
o Race #6 - Andre Beese of Oakville Yacht Squadron sailing Messing About, a J-27. Andre completed the 26 NM race with a Corrected Time of 03:16.27 hours and 43 boats crossed the Finish Line.
“Congratulations to all the racers who were on the water last season. The LOOR Committee is meeting every month to plan for a full racing season in 2021. If it can happen we will make it happen! We have reached out to racers who had much to say about our modified racing last season and we hope to add some interesting changes in the near future.”, stated Monica Doedens, LOOR Committee Chair.
All distance races will again be held on the challenging waters of Lake Ontario throughout the sailing season and push sailors in conditions that are often quite different from month-to-month.”
Our “daylight” races, typically in the 25 NM range, are popular with both seasoned races and those looking for a unique sailing experience.
