The 2023 F18 North American Championships will be held from September 18-22 at the Burlington Beach Catamaran Club (BBCC) on Lake Ontario at Burlington, Canada. This was the site for the very successful 2022 A-Cat North Americans. BBCC is making preparations to have an even better event with a great social calendar to enhance the four-days of championship racing. There is lots of space at their beach venue on the western end of Lake Ontario about a half hour drive from Toronto International Airport. We are expecting over 50 F18s from Canada and the USA. It is an Open regatta so other nationalities are welcome to join the fun. It will also be the Canadian National Championships so we are expecting a strong Canadian turn-out.
For more information view the BBCC Bid proposal with great information on the regatta plans and the Notice of Race (NOR) attached to this email.
