Toronto & National Yacht Club Welcome the J/80 Community!
The Fleet 20 J/80 class flag is up and we’re looking forward to hosting the best North American Championship yet! For the first time ever, the NA’s will be hosted in Canada at National Yacht Club, right in the heart of downtown Toronto. Enjoy racing the world's best sport boat (yes, we're biased!) in great lake breezes followed by the friendliest après sailing parties.
The time is right to come on up to Toronto!
The schedule for the 2016 J/80 North Americans will include a tune-up clinic on August 4th followed by 3 days of course racing from August 5-7 including daily prizes and social events with the championship awards on August 7th. For full details, refer to the official race documents posted on the Yacht Scoring registration website.

And, don’t miss the 2016 J/80 Hans Fogh Memorial Championship at LYRA on July 29 - 31, 2016
The 2016 NA’s follow one week after LYRA which will be hosted at Whitby Yacht Club, just 35 minutes from Toronto. Consider entering both regattas for back to back weekend competition and time to enjoy Toronto. In 2015, the J/80 Lake Ontario fleet took home LYRAs largest one-design award and we intend to do it again in 2016.
Come join us to help make it the largest OD fleet LYRA has ever hosted!

About National Yacht Club
|
As the centre of the fastest growing Lake Ontario J/80 fleet, NYC is an integral part of our location and fantastic regatta organization. NYC is a 120+ year old non-profit club with a diverse membership of over 1,000 racers and recreational boaters. Nestled in the Toronto Harbour, on the city side just a breeze east of Ontario Place; our location is equally convenient to the lake. We are only a short distance from our race area, the bay, island parks, airports, lodging and the inner harbour. NYC's striking clubhouse with licensed dining room and terrace provides superb views of on water activities, and the most beautiful sunsets over the water and the city skyline.
NYC and Fleet 20 have everything the J80 racer needs for an enjoyable stay.
