There’s an answer for that … your Club Ambassador By Terence Kuehn You may have heard of the ‘Susan Hood Trophy Race’, ‘Lake Ontario 300 Challenge’ and ‘LOSHRS’ but you want to know more about these offshore long-distance events and how you can get involved. The idea of long-distance racing excites you, but you don't know how to start, what’s involved, or where to get more information. You wish there was someone you could talk to, help you get involved, and answer all the questions you have. Question like; how to register, what the safety inspection is all about, when to book a slip at PCYC prior to the race, and how the starting sequence works, to name just a few. Well, there is an answer for that… meet the Lake Ontario Offshore Race series ‘Ambassadors’. This group of individuals, representing clubs from the north shore of Lake Ontario, are experienced long-distance racers who have volunteered to help others get involved. Their primary responsibility is to promote the long-distance offshore racing program within their clubs. It doesn't matter if you are a skipper looking to enter your boat and crew for the first time or you are simply interested in crewing on a boat; they can provide answers and guidance. The Ambassadors know the races well and offer their assistance in many ways to help promote offshore racing on Lake Ontario. At club functions and regular club races, they may take the opportunity to provide an introduction and overview of the races and talk about their ability to assist racers in getting to the start line. They can help get your boat ready through guidance with the safety regulations, delivery to PCYC prior to the event, and be an onshore contact person for you during the actual race by VHF or cell phone (yes, its allowed).
