Chicago Yacht Club – Race to Mackinac – Photos
With 240 entrants, the Chicago Yacht Club’s Race to Mackinac presented by Wintrust (CYCRTM) promises once again to be a spectacle worth taking in, as it returns to Lake Michigan and Lake Huron this week. Cruising and Performance Racing Divisions start the race at Chicago’s Navy Pier on Friday (July 16) and Saturday (July 17), respectively, with organizers suggesting the window of 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on Saturday as the best public viewing opportunity. In 10-minute intervals, starting at 11 a.m. and ending around 2:40 p.m., seventeen “sections” for ORC, One-Design, Multihull and Doublehanded boats will start their 289 nautical mile journey to Mackinac Island – an annual trek that, over more than 11 decades, has become the stuff of legend in sailboat racing.
The Chicago Yacht Club-Race To Mackinac race division gets under way this Saturday. The lead boats will start arriving on Mackinac Island as early as late Sunday. By Tuesday the marina will be filled with sailboats and successful racers will be celebrating on the island. #TBT: Here are some of our favorite photos from previous versions of the Race To Mackinac. – Chicago Yacht Club Race To Mackinac – July 15 – 19, 2021 >>>

Snowing in July? Nope, that is how big and how intense the raindrops were on Saturday afternoon on Lake Michigan during the Race to Mackinac.

#flashbackfriday to the Chicago to Mackinac yacht race from last week! The crew out on White Shoal had not only front row seats to the race but also a unique perspective. The first few photos feature the eventual winner, Whitehawk, passing Waugoshance lights and Grey's Reef respectively. #whiteshoallight #puremichigan #cycrtm #yachtracing #operationsummersideoflife #lighthouse #historicsite

The prettiest boat you'll see on Lake Michigan this weekend is Whitehawk. It's in the 114th Race to Mackinac. Built in 1978, it's a 104 feet long, mono wooden hull and owned by Peter Thornton of Burr Ridge. What a sight it is in front of our gorgeous Chicago skyline.

This weekend is the Race to Mackinac. Be sure to be looking out for those beautiful colorful sails on Lake Michigan. If this image looks familiar, it's the cover of my new book, "Chicago - Morning, Noon & Night". Pre-Sale is on my website.
