(Port Credit, ONT, Canada)- The eighty-six boat fleet sailing the Lake
Ontario 300 Challenge presented by drive.HG started on Saturday July
15th, 2017 with little expectations to finish the race in record time.
In fact, for the 300nm race, it was quite the opposite scenario that was
being entertained by the intrepid adventurers on the flooded body of
water known as Lake Ontario.Despite every possible obstacle thrown at them, like a few fronts, no wind, lots of wind and what not, the J/crews prevailed from east to west on their 300nm transit of Lake Ontario. In the end, it was Bruce Pierce’s J/122 HOOLIGAN II that placed 2nd in IRC 2 Class. Then, Murray Gainer’s J/109 LIVELY was 2nd in PHRF 1 Class and Sean Matthews’ J/33 WEE BEASTIE III placed 4th in PHRF 3 class!
