Susan Hood Recap 📣
Crews were sending it at this year's 2026 Susan Hood Trophy Race. 🙌🏻 A big breeze turned up for the 78NM course around Lake Ontario, which saw 61 boats at the start line on Friday, May 29th. Boats were flying off the start towards Burlington with winds blowing 22+, gusting to 33 knots. Blast, a Beneteau 10R out of Mimico Cruising Club, saw a wind shift that brought 25+ knot gusts from their starboard aft quarter.
Skipper Ryan Bobyk, shares, "The years we’ve spent with the boat, and each other, gave us the confidence to go for it! We hoisted our A4 Kite and absolutely took off from the competition, breaking boat speed records like all other attempts didn’t matter."

North Sails expert Hugh Beaton adds, "[It was] One of the coldest Susan Hood races I can remember with a strong northerly wind in the 15-25 range for most of the race."

A special shoutout to Clear Air for taking 1st overall! 🏆 Big congratulations to all competitors, especially solo racers, who stuck it out for the unofficial kickoff of the season.
