Thank you to Kathy Pask Full Tilt Boogie for this report: The 2025 J/105 Ontario Women’s Championship successfully occurred Saturday, August 16 with 10 incredibly talented boats competing in three races.
Congratulations to Jen Provan skippering Mandate in first place and Chantal Hearst skippering Forro in second place for the J/105 Ontario Women’s Championship at Royal Canadian Yacht Club – RCYC
This year’s theme was derived from the amazing regatta shirts, donated by the Levy Group, “Sailing into the Cosmos,” and the teams’ party outfits were out of this world!
A huge thank you to sponsor Michael Mountford from the Mountford Group at Scotia Wealth Management (who is on the water every year spectating) and continued sponsorship from the Scotiabank Women Initiative, who last year sponsored our regatta as their first event for women in sports!
The awesome Race Committee was headed up by Spencer Scott.
Thank you to Michelle Skutelsky again for being an incredible Regatta Chair helping make this an incredible fifth year for the event.

Thank you to the Charter Yacht Company for the skippers’ bags.
Thank you to the J/105 Class Association for continued support of women’s racing that started with our Toronto regatta five years ago and has spread over North America. A huge thanks as well to J/105 Fleet 4 boat owners who generously loan their boats to the event! It couldn’t happen without you.
