Lake Ontario 300

This weekend I will be sailing the Lake Ontario 300 on Big Fun in the fully crewed spinnaker fleet. (see: Star article)

The boat is a 36 foot C+C. We are probably the oldest boat entered in the race and we will be in the slowest PHRF fleet. The race starts at Port Credit at around 11:00 Saturday. The race should take between 3 and 4 days to complete. We have a crew of four. Three other boats from NYC joined up to form Team National. There are over 122 boats registered for the event.

It looks like there will be light winds for the start. You can follow our progress at the website with real time GPS tracking. You will have to look for Big Fun in the participants list. It will be in the Fully Crewed Spinnaker section and probably in the PHRF IV or V fleet.

I have been looking forward to sailing the event for a few years. It should be a great experience.
