Ontario Sailing would like to thank our clubs and the members of our clubs for their continued support, help and encouragement for our community as we all continue to stay safe in this COVID-19 pandemic.
As we all wait for the next phase to open, the following document was put together by International Judge Leo Reise.
This proposal, that I am calling the Leo Loop, gives our members an opportunity to do a timed event with their family and still keep social distanced. View the proposal here.
As we move forward and our clubs start to see their launch of boats finishing up, we look forward to spending time on the water sailing and boating.
When there is more news on opening up such things as racing, learn to sail and clubhouses, Ontario Sailing will be there to yell it from the mast tops.
Currently everyone can get out and sail and boat!!! We were one of the first sports that was permitted to start up in a recreational way. Take advantage of the fresh air and get your family outside.
Take care, continue social distancing rules, stay safe, and let's look forward to some great warm weather ahead.
Sincerely,
Glenn Lethbridge
Executive Director, Ontario Sailing

Many thanks to the Sail Canada Race Management Sub-Committee and the Ontario Sailing Race Management Committee for their dedication and hard work! Without these valuable volunteers, who are tireless in their efforts, Ontario Sailing wouldn't be able to offer this online Officials' course (and others yet-to-come) to the sailing community. Thank You!
