Since 1955, fully crewed yachts have been taking on the challenge of a spring offshore race, the 75.0nm Susan Hood Trophy Race on Lake Ontario. The 2019 edition of the Susan Hood Trophy Race is presented by driveHG.ca.

Hosting the race is Port Credit Yacht Club and is scheduled to run on Friday, May 31, 2019 at Port Credit YC. Everyone is looking forward to decent winds that are forecast for this year's race, due to the insane tornadic weather systems that have been crossing the American Midwest.

In the seven-boat IRC Division are Bruce Pierce's J/122 Hooligan II and John McLeod's J/133 Hot Water. In the PHRF Singlehanded class are Kim Piller's J/109 Live Wire and Ard Van Leeuwen's J/112E High Tea. In the PHRF Racing class are eleven J/teams, including Robert DeWitte's J/100 Perspective, two J/105s (Peter Wolniak's Another Hazard and Geoff Clarke's Casual Elegance, Murray Gainer's J/109 Lively, two J/120s (Matt Emerson's Red Leaf and Graham Toms' The Cat Came Back), Mike Pietz's J/35 Shorthanded, two J/88s (Ed Berkhout's All Cat and Tim Sweet's Give'R), and Andrew Sharp's J/92 Switch.
