On shore there will be a barbecue dinner Saturday evening as well as live music/entertainment after racing. After a hard day of racing come enjoy another adventure in flavour with our main event sponsor Reid’s Distillery and enjoy a great local Gin & Tonic. Additionally, there will be free pours from Crystal Head Vodka, Signal Hill Whisky, C’est What Durham Brewing and Ferox Estate Winery.

We hope you will join us for the weekend. To reserve a spot for your boat in our harbour, please visit https://abyc.ca/abyc-visitor-reservations/

Rumours

It is true that the Lake Ontario Racing Council was briefly life support, but the member clubs realized that there is a need for a centralized go-to place for calendar coordination, resource sharing and getting keel boat racing back on track.

See you out there!
