The Hummer
Each year, the SLSC ends its racing season with a bang at the End of Summer Hummer. The Hummer is a great chance to gather with other members for a final social and some exciting sailing in a two-day regatta.
September 5 – 7, 2025
Pursuit Races
Each year, the Club organizes a few pursuit or novelty races on Saturdays or Sundays. Details are included in the yearly schedule.
The sailing instructions for Pursuit Races will be discussed Dockside at a Skipper’s Meeting prior to each event.
Regattas
In addition to the Pursuit Races, there are two club Regattas: the Commodore’s Cup and the Memorial Cup. These events are normally held on Saturdays and are great preparation for the End of Summer Hummer. See the Club schedule for dates and details. Trophies for these regattas are presented at the Fall Club Meeting.
The sailing instructions for Regattas will be discussed at a Skipper’s Meeting held dockside, prior to the racing event.

Ice Breaker Cup
This prestigious trophy, which consists of a Bottle of Rum, is awarded each Fall Meeting to the crew of the first boat each spring to brave the ice and cold water and sail to the sand-banks at Jarvis Bay Provincial Park and back. It’s often been known to occur under the cloak of secrecy, with only photographic evidence as proof.
