TBYC runs a PHRF-handicapped annual multi-series racing program on Lake Superior with 20 to 25 keelboats participating.

Our mission is to engage new and existing keelboat owners in a variety of racing formats to encourage both extended use of their yachts and ehanced boat and sail handling skills development. We welcome sailors of all skill levels, and work to ensure racing is simultaneously competitive and fun.

Wednesday Night Series

The Wednesday Night Series begins mid-May and runs through the end of September. Races are typically windward-leeward courses held outside the harbour breakwall near Prince Arthur's Landing Marina.

Offshore Series

Several short and medium distance offshore races are scheduled annually for both crewed and solo/double-handed boats.

Pursuit Racing

“For fun” pursuit races occur every Monday and Friday evening. These races are open to all sailboats and no fees apply.

SUNORA

The SUNORA, or Superior North-shore Regatta, is an annual 1 week race-cruise through the islands of Lake Superior's rugged coastline between Thunder Bay and Nipigon Bay (specific route is subject to change), with both power and sailboats participating. Further details
