The Stolze Cup
2009 LYRA Match Racing Championship
July 18-19, 2009 Notice of Race 2009

Dear Match Race Competitors,

The Organizing Authority for the The Stolze Cup, LYRA Match Racing Championships is now accepting requests for invitations. The event will be hosted by the Royal Canadian Yacht Club July 18-19th and will be sailed in Sonars on Toronto harbour.   

The OA is please to announce David Pelling IU will be the Chief Umpire. The event has applied for grade 3 status and may be re-graded when there is clear reason to do so.

RFIs will be accepted until the May 15th deadline. The first round of invitations will be issued May 20th. For consideration please send your request complete with ISAF Sailor ID, Open or Woman's ranking and your sailing bio/resume to pwickwire@hotmail.com.

Once the field is established the OA will make every effort to see that housing is available to visiting competitors. As the event is midsummer on the island, the option of staying on member yachts may appeal to teams. This will be worked out.   

If you are a member of LYRA club, this event is the official qualifier for promotion to the Richardson Trophy Regatta. The top finishing LYRA team will earn the 1st LYRA invitation to the Richardson Trophy Regatta.  The Richardson Trophy Regatta will be hosted by Wayzata Yacht Club, October 8-11th.

Sincerely,

Peter
