Join LOWISA 58 Race Week in NW Ontario

Mar 6, 2024

The 2024 Race Week will showcase the magic of a classic LOWISA experience, but LOWISA is not your typical sailing regatta. The event hosts a week-long sailing adventure where sailors can see a side of sailing beyond sport. LOWISA is where high-caliber racing meets passion, meets community.

Join Lake of the Woods International Sailing Association this summer as we celebrate the 58th annual LOWISA Race Week, a point-to-point sailing race that we consider the greatest freshwater sailing race on earth.

The Lake of the Woods International Sailing Association (LOWISA) offers a unique sailing experience, as boats of all sizes gather each year and race one another around just a few of the 14,000+ islands on Lake of the Woods.

This year LOWISA is looking to invite new participants to our event, accommodating trailer-able boats from the broader sailing community. Reach out to learn more: saillowisa@gmail.com

The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
