The 2011 RCYC Open will be held on June 11th and 12th.

The RCYC Open is part of the Lake Ontario Racing Council ( LORC ) Regatta series. The series consist of the ABYC Open in May, the RCYC Open in June, the PCYC Open in July, the EYC Open in August and finally the QCYC Open in September.
Unique to the RCYC Open is the invitation to dinghies to join the Regatta and which swells our total attendance of boats to be consistently over 175 boats with a high of 250 in 2009. The Saturday end of day Reception, BBQ and Party sees about 800 people.

The first race of the RCYC Open on Saturday is called “the Prince of Wales’ Race” and the first race on Sunday is called “the Governor General’s Race.” These races have their own flags and trophies.
Many of the trophies that are awarded during the event date back to the earliest days of the club such as the Prince of Wales’ Trophy, 1861, donated by Albert Edward, Prince of Wales to commemorate his visit in 1860. The Prince of Wales race has changed it course and date over the years but it is one of the oldest traditions in the club.
We hope to see you there.
