Page 62 Lake Ontario Offshore Racing Guide Offshore & Overnight at the East End of Lake Ontario By R. Geoffrey Roulet Is your home port at the eastern end of Lake Ontario? Would you and your crew like to experience long distance offshore and overnight racing before heading west to join the Lake Ontario 300? If your answers are “yes” then consider taking part in the Long Point Challenge (CBYC), Mowat Race (PEYC), and Round the County Race (BQYC). If you sail out of a port at the western end of the lake why not combine a cruise of the Bay of Quinte or Thousand Islands with participation in these races? Long Point Challenge Saturday, June 15 – Sunday, June 16, 2019 Collins Bay Yacht Club (CBYC), Kingston This 107 NM race, starting Saturday morning, takes you from Collins Bay at Kingston out into the lake via the Lower Gap east of Amherst Island or the Upper Gap to the west, through the passage between Long Point (Prince Edward Point) and Main Duck Island, round the mid-lake ODAS buoy (45012), and then returns to Collins Bay. The course offers protected water sailing in the area north of Main Duck Island and potentially stronger lake conditions as you head out to the turning point. Crew tactical skills are challenged as they select their course around Amherst Island and navigate through shipping lanes and channels off Prince Edward County and Main Duck. The race is open to all boats suitable for offshore racing; single-handed, double-handed or fully crewed, monohull or multihull.

Leaving Picton Bay, boats sail east along Adolphus Reach and out into the lake via the Upper Gap. From there the course makes a port rounding of Main Duck and Yorkshire Islands and then returns back to Picton, again via the Upper Gap to the west of Amherst Island.

Lake Ontario Offshore Racing Guide Page 63 Long Point Challenge Mowatt Race Round the County Round the County Saturday, August 17 – Sunday August 18, 2019 Bay of Quinte Yacht Club (BQYC), Belleville Established in 1967 this 110 NM race is a circumnavigation of Prince Edward County. Prior to the start on Saturday morning the fleet proceeds through the Bay of Quinte, Murray Canal, and Presqu’ile Bay to the start just off Presqu’ile Point lighthouse. Leaving the bay, racers round the county keeping Scotch Bonnet, Psyche Shoal and False Duck Island to port. The course passes through the Upper Gap, west along Adolphus Reach, north eastward through Long Reach and then west through the Bay of Quinte to Belleville. Crews can expect to meet light challenging winds in the confined reaches and potentially high winds and heavy seas while on the outside of the county. Night navigation through the Bay of Quinte reaches provides an extra challenge for this race.
