24 hours after start in the same place. Unfortunately while in starting sequence the main dropped a couple of feet. After scrambling and trying to remedy, it was determined that the main headboard car was stuck on lock, had to cut had lashing and trigger line to bring sail down. So we decided we couldn’t continue. Back at harbor determined the lashing from the headboard car to head ring had failed.

Motoring up to island, refueling and looking for a good weather wind to continue to Chicago.

Let the games begin!

Lake Michigan doesn’t do small.

This week, 260 teams will line up off Chicago for 333 miles of freshwater offshore racing to Mackinac Island.

Big fleet. Big lake. Big tradition.

The Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac presented by Wintrust is the world’s largest annual offshore race — and race week is here.
