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.

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Tasmania to Kamchatka 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031
