Columbia’s One-design Level Offshore Race Series (COLORS) has been Chicago’s season opener for more than 20 years. Traditionally, the first weekend in June, the event serves as a tune-up for one design and PHRF fleets. More than 80 boats come to the starting line every year for two days of racing and parties. There are always strong showings from the J/Boat, Farr 40, T-10 and Beneteau classes.
