Chicago Yacht Club – Race to Mackinac – July 21 – 25, 2023
Sailors from 15 different U.S. states as well as Ontario, Switzerland, and as far off as Hong Kong, are preparing for the race of a lifetime – the 333 mile Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac, presented by Wintrust.
The Mac, as it is affectionately known, kicks off Friday, July 21, 2023 (cruising division) and Saturday, July 22, 2023 (racing division) with 3,000 sailors competing in this world-class sporting event. Although The Mac remains primarily an amateur event, this race has a proven track record of attracting some of the finest sailing talent in the sport.
The Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac is the longest, annual freshwater sailing race in the world. It takes place on Lake Michigan.

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

Great captures of wintrust first team in the chicagoyachtclub racetomackinac presented by Wintrust. Sailors from different areas of the organization set sail yesterday aboard “ Mojo” to tackle the 333 nautical miles to Mackinac Island during this year’s 113th Race. I was watching the wild night of storms on the Lake but see them on their way with 138 miles to go. You can track them and other Racing division teams expected to finish by morning! Many Cruising division teams are arriving today.🙏 We join chicagoyachtclub and the 2100 sailors and crew to cheer on this powerful team, and all at Wintrust that help make this event , one of Chicago’s very best, happen year after year. Well done Team Wintrust, our partners of the Make it Better Foundation’s Philanthropy Awards.

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.
