An Invitation<br />
Dear Racers,<br />
On behalf of the officers, directors and members of the Port Credit<br />
Yacht Club, the <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Ontario</strong> <strong>300</strong> Committee and the Great <strong>Lake</strong>s<br />
Single Handed Society, it is my pleasure to invite you and your crew<br />
to participate in the 22nd annual <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Ontario</strong> <strong>300</strong> Challenge to be<br />
held on Friday July 16 to Tuesday, July 20 2011.<br />
<strong>Offshore</strong> racing is thriving on <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Ontario</strong> and we are extremely<br />
excited about this year’s LO<strong>300</strong> Challenge. The organizing committee<br />
has been working hard to make the LO<strong>300</strong> Challenge a marquee<br />
event. It’s renowned as the most challenging long distance race on<br />
the Great <strong>Lake</strong>s and the longest inland race course in the world!<br />
In 2010, 178 boats and more than 800 people participated in the<br />
exhilarating LO<strong>300</strong> Challenge and we’re anticipating more than 200<br />
boats in this year’s race.<br />
The LO<strong>300</strong> Challenge has something for everyone.<br />
