Racine Yacht Club's 17th annual HOOK Race, which counts for the 9.1 Lake Michigan Class Championship series, starts July 22nd at 10 AM. Entries are running ahead of last year. There are likely to be 70+ entries, more of them from Chicago than last year, with 6-9 9.1's in a division of boats all rating 132-135 or so -- basically an entire one-design division! This well-organized and well-run event features good hospitality and a relaxed, festive atmosphere at both Racine Yacht Club and Sturgeon Bay Yacht Club. This year two new sponsors are Mount Gay Rum and Johnson Trust Bank, so there will be a rum party at the finish and a special Skipper's Reception at RYC. Come out and have fun with lots of other good sailing people, and perhaps take a little vacation after the race! For more details and an entry form, visit www.racineyachtclub.org |
