Dear LOWISA Community,

Thank you for your patience while we’ve been determining how to proceed with LOWISA 55. Unfortunately, I have come to the very difficult decision to postpone this year’s event due to current international travel and gathering restrictions. LOWISA 55 is now scheduled for July 31 – August 7, 2021. While this was a difficult decision to make, the board and I agree that this was necessary in order to abide by current guidelines and stand in solidarity with our partners.

Fortunately, the LOWISA fleet is resilient. We take a knock and we bounce back and if its howling and raining, we reach for the foul weather gear and grit our teeth. That’s why I know that we’ll be back next year bigger and better than ever. In lieu of mourning the delay, please consider heading to our website to purchase some LOWISA merch. Your guerilla advertising will promote this awesome regatta and ensure high levels of participation in 2021. Next year we’re planning to return to Sunset Lodge for layover day, I’ve already informed the resort of our intentions. Of course, the Canada vs USA football game will also going down — better get in game shape Team USA.
