With 240 entrants, the Chicago Yacht Club\u2019s 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\u2019s 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 \u201csections\u201d for ORC, One-Design, Multihull and Doublehanded boats will start their 289 nautical mile journey to Mackinac Island \u2013 an annual trek that, over more than 11 decades, has become the stuff of legend in sailboat racing.<\/p>\n

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 \u2013 July 15 \u2013 19, 2021 >>> <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s a wrap. Great race, Hollywood sailing Sunday afternoon then a blast reach down the straits at 14 knots and hitting 20 under a reefed main and No. 3. Quick one at 34 hours. Third in class!

Had a blast in the race to Mackinac this year. Our team got line honours in our fleet (a big win for us!) with an elapsed time of 2 days, 8 hrs but unfortunately got corrected over and ended up in 5th place. Would have loved podium but happy with our performance all things considered. We had wonderful weather despite the bit of rain on Saturday and no flies this year! Still on a high... \ud83d\ude03\u26f5\n\n #cycracetomackinac #cycrtm #sailing #sydney41 #lakemichigan #chicago #mackinacisland \nFirst photo credit to photographers of the #racetomackinac<\/p>\r\n\t <\/div>\r\n\t \r\n View on Instagram<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t <\/path>\r\n\t <\/svg> <\/a>\r\n\t

Post-race partying after six days of race committee duty for racetomackinac, and a tiny view of the minor chaos of docking 100+ boats at the island. Parties included a newly created brunch for first timers - both crew of new boat\/skipper combos doing their inaugural race, and individual crew members doing their first Mac.
