Who or what is SLVYRA
Click the image to learn more.
Founded in 1946 the St. Lawrence Valley Yacht Racing Association is maintained by a group of enthusiastic sailboat racers. SLVYRA has been operating continuously for over 72 years.
Since 2020 Covid-19 restrictions created challenging restrictions but limited racing continued on Lake St. Louis throughout the summer of 2020 & 2021.
Looking ahead to summer 2022 it is our belief that there will be an easing of regulations that will once again allow for fuller participation by all the different fleets.
