miles.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Lake Ontario 300 originated through the vision of a group of single-handed sailors that were members of the yacht clubs surrounding the lake. \u00a0The group envisioned a long-distance race to challenge the skills of those who usually raced single-handed. \u00a0The group realized that often the sailing done on Lake Ontario was by 2 people and racing double-handed was a good way to improve and challenge skills.<\/p>\n<p>The 300 nautical mile course starts at Port Credit Yacht Club, mark rounding at Gibraltar, the Main Duck Islands, Ford Shoal, Niagara R2 and finishes back at Port Credit Yacht Club.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the race visit the <a title=\"lake Ontario Offshore Racing\" href=\"http:\/\/loor.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
