Now What to Do?
W ant a sailing fix during the long winter? Want to learn skills and information to become a better racer?

To learn about PHRF-LO works and what parts of a sail are measured attend the annual PHRF-LO Spring Training Seminar on Saturday, March 24, 2018. It’s FREE!

Want to anticipate what the Race Committee will be doing? Want to know what the strange signals the Race Committee made mean? Want to understand why the Race Committee is doing what it does? Then attend an Ontario Sailing Race Management course.

Lost a protest and not sure why, especially if it might be process related? Not comfortable with the protest process so don’t file a protest even though you were grievously wronged! Then attend an Ontario Sailing Club Judge course.

The release of the LORC Open Regatta NOR and opening of registration is targeted for mid March.
