Representatives to be point of contact between their club and LOOR

The kick-off meeting for the newly formed LOOR Ambassadors group was held on Monday, October 17th with representatives from 21 yacht clubs around Lake Ontario sharing ideas on how to support and promote offshore racing.

Toronto Hydroplane and Sailing Club hosted the inaugural get together and the discussion centered around initiatives aimed at encouraging participation in LOOR events and other similar racing activities around the lake.
