2010 Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac
Looking forward to Chicago’s Next Cup
CHICAGO — Chicago has mastered the ice; now it’s time for the water. The next Cup on the minds of Chicagoans and thousands of Midwest sailors is the prestigious Mackinac Cup, the perpetual challenge emblem for the oldest and largest freshwater sailing race this side of the world — the Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac, presented by Veuve Clicquot.
The Mackinac Cup was commissioned in 1905,12 years after Lord Stanley’s, although the NHL has been using the Cup as its championship for only 83 years, where the honor of the Mac Cup will be contested for the 102nd time this year. The 2010 Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac, presented by Veuve Clicquot, begins July 24th .
Impressive in size and grandeur, the Mackinac Cup was designed to model a Native American war canoe, to commemorate the Native American heritage of Mackinac Island. Crafted with $1,500 worth of silver, the exquisite detailing includes flanking on all sides of massive Native American heads. As one of the two most coveted awards in the Race to Mackinac, the Mackinac Cup (along with the Chicago – Mackinac Trophy, est. 1927) is rotated between the two monohull divisions as top prize for the best corrected time. The Mackinac and Stanley Cups also have one major tradition in common — the silver vessels are filled with champagne for the winners to enjoy. Of course, it’s only fitting that the Mac’s presenting sponsor is Veuve Clicquot Champagne.
2009’s Mackinac Cup winner was Chicagoan Jon Weglarz and crew on The Asylum , a 35-foot J-105. Will another Chicagoan be added to the list of engravings for 2010?
Starting July 24th, 375 skippers will vie for the chance to win one of the divisional honors in this year’s race. To see who is racing, keep up with reports from the water and to track all the boats online by GPS, go to www.cycracetomackinac.com.

Hey I just wanted to let you know, I really like the piece of writing on your site. But I am utilising Chromium on a machine running version 8.x of Ubuntu and the look and feel aren’t quite correct. Not a strong deal, I can still fundamentally read the articles and explore for information, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of hard to apply with the config I’m running. Keep up the great work!
