Lake Ontario Offshore Racing – early deadline
Apr 8, 2021
It’s April and just around the corner – beginning on Friday June 4th actually – is the 2021 Susan Hood Trophy Race (SHTR). Fondly referred to as the ‘Coolest Race on the Lake’, the Susan Hood is a 75 nautical mile overnight race that kicks off the racing season. The event is open to fully crewed, short-handed and solo sailors and is followed on Sunday, June 6th with the Lake Ontario Short Handed Racing Series (LOSHRS) Race #1 – a 16 nautical mile Course Race.
Registration for all Lake Ontario Offshore Racing events is open. The Early Bird Deadline for the SHTR and LOSHRS Race #1 is Sunday, April 25th.
Use the links on the LOOR website to sign yourself up for one or ALL the races. And please remember, if you are new to offshore racing and have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to us at info@LOOR.ca or contact your club LOOR Ambassador . We’ll help get you to the start line.
Please note that although the LOOR committee is planning for a full racing season, we cannot predict what restrictions will be in place. We have been planning for all scenarios and have several alternate plans in place. Please watch your inbox and LOOR social media. We will ensure that we communicate any modifications as soon as they are finalised.
We’re hoping to make the 2021 LOOR racing season memorable for all.
Take care of yourself, and if you can, take care of someone else.
