Lake Ontario Offshore Racing - Offshore Safety at Sea Training Update

LOOR Training Requirement Update


Limited Coastal Personal Survival course availability waiver now possible!


  • LOOR will be granting a waiver of the Training Requirement this year if you tried to take the course but could not.
  • To have your request for a waiver considered, send an email to safety@loor.ca, outlining your circumstances, such as if you are registered for a later course or tried to register for a course but they were full.
  • Please ensure you’re on a waiting list to be contacted when new courses are added and help Ontario Sailing with planning.
  • Ontario Sailing is continually adding Coastal Personal Survival Courses sessions, please check to see if one is added that you can take, even after granting of the waiver, to alleviate the need for it.
