Chicago Yacht Club – Race to Mackinac – July 12 – 16, 2024
Sailors from 15 different U.S. states as well as Ontario, Switzerland, and as far off as Hong Kong, are preparing for the race of a lifetime – the 333 mile Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac, presented by Wintrust.
The Mac, as it is affectionately known, kicks off Friday, July 12, 2024 (cruising division) and Saturday, July 13, 2024 (racing division) with 3,000 sailors competing in this world-class sporting event. 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.
The Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac is the longest, annual freshwater sailing race in the world. It takes place on Lake Michigan.

Post-race partying after six days of race committee duty for racetomackinac, and a tiny view of the minor chaos of docking 100+ boats at the island. Parties included a newly created brunch for first timers - both crew of new boat/skipper combos doing their inaugural race, and individual crew members doing their first Mac. Love the positive reinforcement for newbies. #cycrtm

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.

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. View Race Tracker https://yb.tl/chicagomac2023 For the best experience on your mobile device (iOS or Android), download the free YB Races app. For those of you who have followed us in the past, just open you app and find the CYC Race 2023 and search for Jasmin in the Cruising Division. Thanks for cheering us on! #CYCRTM
