This is a point to point “race against the clock” open to monohull sailboats at any time from May 1st through the Monday of Thanksgiving weekend. In order to compete you must record the exact time taken to sail between the western pier at the Lakeview Generating Station to the “Dufferin Bell Buoy” or the other way around.
The boat must be owned by a member who is eligible for a mooring for that boat, and must be Skippered and Helmed (for the majority of the run) by a Junior, Intermediate, Associate or Senior Member (or their spouse), but these need not be the owner.
Times are accepted on the honour system and may be submitted (to the nearest one-hundredth of a second) to the Communications Centre or to the Director of Club Racing, including Boat Name, Skipper, and Date. See the Bulletin Board for latest postings.

Event Date(s)	Additional Information
Open from May 1st through the Monday of Thanksgiving weekend.	The Lakeview Start/Finish line: Lakeview Generating Station has two piers. There are two fixed red navigation lights on the western side of the westerly pier, as well as a row of light standards along much of its length. To start or finish a Millennium Trophy run at this location, the time is to be taken when the bow of the yacht crosses the extension of a line drawn through the row of light standards on the western pier, while within 100 yards of the pier. The Dufferin Bell Buoy Start/Finish line: This buoy is a red and white fairway buoy marking the entrance to the western gap of Toronto harbour. It carries a white navigation light displaying Morse code “A” with a period of 6 seconds. It appears on most charts as navigation marker “T” and is located at approximately N43° 37.26' W79° 25.18'. To start or finish a Millennium Trophy run at this location, the yacht must pass within 100 feet of the buoy, the time to be taken when the bow of the yacht crosses the extension of a line drawn through the buoy and the large white dome at Ontario Place. Millenium Race Details (for printing)   The Millennium Trophy was donated by Peter Rowe and is presented at the Club Awards Banquet.
