Organizer's Letter

Welcome to the 2015 Lightning Class International Masters and World Championship! The Buffalo Canoe Club (BCC), its officers, directors, staff, and members look forward to hosting the 2015 Lightning Class International Masters and World Championship July 15-25, 2015. We last hosted the 1973 Lightning World Championship and truly look forward to hosting again. Of course, since that time, the BCC hosted 1977, 1982, 1987, 1992, 1998 and 2004 Lightning North American Championships; 1980, 1990, and 2014 Youth World Championships, as well as numerous Canadian Open and Lake Erie Districts championships. The organizing committee and Lightning Fleet 12 are working hard to make this a first class event. We can’t wait to welcome you at our club.
