Racing: LOOR Announces its 2025 Race Dates

Brooks Robitaille and the subdued Blue Magic crew were winners in 2024 and plan to return in ’25

Jan 23, 2025

The Toronto International Boat Show is on until Jan  26th; LOOR is at  booth #1797. 

The 2025 season will see a big change as the LOOR has switched to Nautical Cloud for all race registrations. This new system works far better for our multiple race events and streamlines many of the function racers used to do several times. Also, the semi-annual running for the LO600 returns for those that really want to test their skill and endurance. LOOR is also very pleased that driveHG is returning as our LOOR sponsor for 2025, their support for all our events has been amazing over the years. 

The LOOR Race dates for 2025 are:

Susan Hood Trophy Race (SHTR) 

 May 30th – May 31st

Lake Ontario Shorthanded Race Series (LOSHRS)

 Race 1: June 1st 

 Race 2: June 21st *

 Race 3: June 22nd *

 Race 4: August 16th – August 17th
