The GLSS<br />
<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Ontario</strong> <strong>300</strong><br />
Solo Challenge<br />
For diehard sailors, there is now a single handed version of the <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Ontario</strong><br />
<strong>300</strong> called the <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Ontario</strong> <strong>300</strong> Solo Challenge. It is run in partnership<br />
with the Great <strong>Lake</strong>s Single Handed Society, or GLSS.<br />
The Great <strong>Lake</strong>s Singlehanded Society is an organization established for<br />
the perpetuation of the sport of solo sailing. It is one of the few organizations<br />
where no amount of money will purchase a membership, only by<br />
successfully completing a Port Huron to Mackinac, Chicago to Mackinac, Sault<br />
Ste. Marie to Duluth, the <strong>Lake</strong> Erie Solo Challenge, or the <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Ontario</strong> <strong>300</strong><br />
Solo Challenge (LO<strong>300</strong>SC), is lifetime membership conveyed by the Society.<br />
For those who qualify, the <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Ontario</strong> <strong>300</strong> Solo Challenge is the most challenging<br />
single handed race held on <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Ontario</strong>.<br />
It is offered within the larger <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Ontario</strong> <strong>300</strong> Yacht Race, but the rules are<br />
somewhat different than those for the crewed classes. If you are interested in<br />
competing, visit the GLSS web site at www.solosailor.org/lo<strong>300</strong>.php to download<br />
the notice of race, entry form, and required equipment lists.<br />
There are also a number of special requirements for non GLSS members that<br />
want to complete.<br />
Remember that the LOSHRS 100 mile race is a valid qualifier race for the<br />
LO<strong>300</strong>SC, and in the LOSHRS portion of this <strong>Offshore</strong> Racing Guide, we include<br />
information that will help you get prepared.
