(Toronto, Ontario, Canada)- Challenging other well-known freshwater "classics" is the Lake Ontario 300, a 300+ nautical mile race that is arguably the "longest" freshwater race in the world (save for the "SuperMac"). This year, it will be a veritable onslaught on overall and class honors by a range of very well sailed 35 foot J's- J/35, J/105 and J/109s. Three of whom have placed or won in class or overall in the past five years. The class and overall possible leaders include the J/105 CASUAL ELEGANCE- Geoff Clarke from Toronto; the J/35 SHORTHANDED- Mike Pietz from Brampton; the J/109 BLUE STREAK- Bob Eckersley from Toronto; the J/109 CARPE VENUS- Denys Jones from Toronto; and the J/109 LIVELY- Murray Gainer from Toronto.
