LYRA has a long tradition of bringing Canadian and US sailors together for top level competition and camaraderie. As you know, that was not possible in 2020 so a program of events on separate sides of the border was assembled.
On Saturday Nov 14, LYRA held a virtual AGM hosted by NYC in Toronto to report and look ahead. Competitors and others will find it extremely interesting.
