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.
