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.

Rapallo to Nador 2026


Welcome to Liguria’s Rapallo, there where Zarathustra spoke - at length - to Nietzsche, for our first race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil. A number of our races in this new Magical Mediterranean series will be partnership with famous real-life races, but this first race is pure fiction - 780nm in refurbed IMOCA 60s, past or through the Balearic Isles and on into the Alboran Sea, to a finish off Nador on the Maroc Mediterranean coast.

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Guam to Ouvéa


The third race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us southeastward now down the Pacific, from Guam’s Apra Harbour at 13.5 degrees North, back across the Equator to the glorious New Caledonian resort island of Ouvéa, on the edge of the Tropic of Capricorn at 20.5 degrees South. It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
