LYRA 2020 Regional Races

The LYRA 2020 regional events planned during these uncertain times was developed to be sensitive to the pandemic. The concept is long distance events to promote shorthanded sailing, limiting crews as much as possible. Skippers are then able to provide the regional safety requirements for their boats. The LYRA Board's foresight in supporting events where boats can leave and return to their home ports protects the host clubs and all of us from large gatherings.


The beautiful LYRA perpetual trophies are tentatively planned to be awarded during the Annual General Meeting on November 14, 2020 at the Youngstown Yacht Club. The trophies will be awarded to fleet overall corrected time first place finishers for FS, NFS, and One Design fleets. Currently many of the trophies are in Canada and cannot be collected. Our hope is that by November the situation will have changed. LYRA flags are to be awarded to first, second and third place finishers in each division where a race is going to occur. Flags will be mailed to the recipients post race. For the GTA Fun Sail all boats will receive a participation LYRA flag.


The LYRA board hopes all sailors enjoy the events and stay safe on the water and among the crews.

The Gallo Island Challenge was first raced in 1987 and last raced in 1998. This year was the perfect time to revive the race. The long distance format provides a venue for skippers to comply with regional rules for the safety of their crew.
