WOW - Women Only Regatta - This Weekend!

Come join the fun on August 7th - that's this weekend for a 3-race regatta for both novice and seasoned women sailors.

There will be three divisions: (Note: PHRF certificates are required)

  • White Sail 1 for PHRF 200 and over
  • White Sail 2 for PHRF 199 and under
  • Spinnaker
Don't worry.... If you are absolutely stuck for an all woman crew, the race committee will allow one man on-board for the first race. Men are not allowed to skipper or helm, and if they are dressed like a woman and able to fool the race committee - there will be no PHRF penalty. However, the last two races are definitely - women only!

RACE DETAILS:
  • Lakeshore Yacht Club
  • August 7th
  • Skippers' Meeting - 9:30AM
  • First race is at 11AM
  • Steak dinner and awards ceremony
  • $20 per person (including the guys)
  • Prizes and awards - including a special award to the 'best dressed' guy..
  • BYO.. PFD
Don't delay - still time to sign up. Please reserve your dinner ticket at least a week in advance. To book a spot in this regatta and reserve your dinner - contact jen@lazycat.ca.

The Story behind 'The Store'

My Photo
Mississauga (Port Credit), Ontario, Canada
Thirty years ago, Jack Mason came home from his sales job of 25 years and said, “I would rather open a marine store, one store to get everything you need!” Jack and Bette (an Island girl) met at Queen City Yacht Club, married, had children, dogs and many, many boats. On April 7 1978, “The Store” Mason's Chandlery was opened in the Port Credit Harbour Marina. It was designed to be a one-stop marine hardware store. Boaters could find everything they needed to maintain their boats, right down to the nuts and bolts! Today, the Mason legacy continues as Lori has becomes the second generation. Mason's continues to provide the same great customer service and exceptionally wide range of product. Mason's stock environmentally safe products and were the first retail store to earn the Green Leaf Eco-rating Award. Mason's has qualified staff, special events; seminars and are producers of the Port Credit Boat Show. Our goal is to continue our top customer service, variety of inventory, competitive prices, and provide the absolute best for our patrons, whether they are experienced seafarers or first time boaters. We work for our customer!
