Amethyst Harbour, Thunder Bay, Lake Superior, Ontario, Canada.
Amethyst Harbour, 20 miles east of Thunder Bay, on Lake Superior, is a pretty nice introduction to Lake Superior sailing. Thunder Bay, Lake Superior, is a “small” 20 mile wide bay on 350 mile long Lake Superior. What a setting for a sailing weekend. The races are around local islands with Saturday‘s two races around closer islands and Sunday‘s single race around Caribou Island. All are stunning and Caribou‘s cliff‘s add real drama to the race. Saturday evening the Bailey‘s host a BBQ and make sure the sauna’s really hot of all the Finnish wanna be‘s.
It‘s most certainly serious racing for the Crystal Trophy, sailed yearly for almost a century now, but any Lightnings that are not so serious are really welcome for wonderful sailing. We‘d be glad to billet those from out of town and we‘d love to have you join us.
Squam Lakes Association, Squam Lake
All are welcome to beautiful Squam Lake in Holderness, NH. See
recently-adopted qualification exceptions (in addition to normal ILCA qualifications) for NE WJM.
