2011-03-03 12:23:43 - Race from Chicago to Mackinac 2011
AHOY SOLers - does anyone (esp N American SOLers) have a connection with the Chicago Yacht Club?

In view of the success of SOL's buddying-up with the Stamford YC for the Vineyard Race last year, and with SSANZ for this year's Round North Island races, it would be marvellous for SOL to create a similar no-strings relationship with the Chicago YC for its annual Race to Mackinac.

If you do have a contact please post a brief reply here and then let me know (by email to:jsbcoo7@aol.com ) so that we can take the details of any approach and discussions out of a public forum.

This year's race is due to be run on 16 July.

Hope you can help!!!

There is also a Mackinac race run from Canadian Sarnia-USA Port Huron, at the south end of Lake Huron, to Mackinac. I don't know if it is connected in any way to the Chicago affair, I have no direct contacts with them.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.

Carib Rum Run 2026


Ahoy, ye landlubbers and seasoned salts! Welcome back to Sailonline’s legendary Carib Rum Run, perfectly timed to kick off on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, 19 September!

This year, we command the magnificent Falkun—the ultimate high-tech superyacht modeled after the iconic Maltese Falcon. This 1759nm slalom takes us through the Caribbean’s rum islands to plunder barrels from local distilleries and deliver them to the rum-parched sands of Cancun.

Join SYC before the finish to disguise yer boat with a pirate name for this race only. Hoist the sails, sharpen yer cutlasses, and plot your winning course!
