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 >>>

Heading back from Mackinac Island to Chicago. I got to go to the island as part of race committee for this year's Chicago to Mackinac race, which was incredible. Thanks racetomackinac for having me - here's to the first of many. More photos to come after I figure out my next move on the trip home! #cycrtm

We took a layover day in Sheboygan waiting for more favorable wind conditions on the return delivery, so I took a few minutes to process some of the photos centered around the crew work on Skye during the #cycrtm racetomackinac

It’s summer in Chicago and that means the 114th Race to Mackinac! We are racing Jasmin again to defend our title, again (a three-peat?). Unlike the stormy (and fast) race of last year, this looks to be a slow race (read: lots of sun, little wind). It’s a good thing we all like each other on the crew! Follow us as we work our way north from Chicago… start time is today at 3:10. Hope to arrive by Monday. Tracking for this year’s race is available on the web.

Thanks for cheering us on! #CYCRTM

Rough Waters. This afternoon on Lake Michigan for the Race To Mackinac
The Chicago Race to Mackinac has begun, and he's cheering them on. Since 1921, the Race to Mackinac has run consecutively every year, remains the longest annual freshwater distance race, and is recognized as one of the most prestigious sailing races in the world. Today, sailors from Maine to California make this race an invariable part of their summer. Moreover, each year, the Mac hosts sailors from as far off as Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Australia. 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.
