Queen's Cup Race

July 1, 2011

Join the fleet for a terrific time and a grand adventure. For 2014 we anticipate more than 200 boats. We'll dash together to the dawn.

Plan now to participate in the 76th sailing of a storied yachting event, the Queen's Cup. Sponsored by South Shore Yacht Club, the annual overnight sprint across Lake Michigan departs for Muskegon on June 27, 2014. More than 1,400 other people will be out there on the open waters with you. Yes, the Queen's Cup is one of yachting's most renowned offshore races, drawing plenty of tricked-out rockets

with the latest carbon sails and go-fast gizmos. But for those who cruise with a barbeque on the stern and the wine rack well-stocked with primo Pinot, it's also an unforgettable way to start your annual cross-lake vacation. You go across in style, as part of a big, organized fleet, in the best of sailing company. If you've ever done the race before, you know that it's no empty boast when we promise a great party at both ends. And yet the Queen's Cup also prides itself on being a family event. Many boats will have multiple generations in the crew. The camaraderie, above all, keeps people coming back. Be part of this communal celebration of the original adventure sport: offshore sailboat racing. The Event is open to all boats, mono- and multihull, with valid LMPHRF handicap certificates. Open to all one-design classes, if enough entries are received. The Multimultihull fleet will race if at least 5 entries are received. The Short-handed fleet is for monohulls with a crew limit of two. The Cruising fleet is for monohulls that will not fly spinnakers

Since we are dreaming of sailing, we are looking at options to pass along for virtual sailing. Here's an idea: it starts tonight with a webinar series by Peter Isler, put on by ASA, and called Peter Isler's Web Wednesdays. Take a look. P.S. We are not affiliated with ASA but are happy to support and share all the sailing opportunities out there. Let us know what your favorites are and we will pass them along too. Enjoy!
