Strictly Sail Week

 
The 14th Annual Strictly Sail Chicago show opens on Thursday January 26 and ends on Sunday January 29. We are sure we will see many of our racers and friends there; plan on stopping by theChicago Yacht Club booth to say hello.
 
The Mac Committee will be presenting two seminars on Saturday, January 28, which are free with your admission to the show:
  • 3:30 pm. A Preview of the 104th Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac; panel discussion led by Lou Sandoval, chair of the Race
  • 4:45 pm Racing in the Cruising Division of the Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac (and the distance races for the NOOD and Verve) ; with Matt Gallagher, a Vice Chair of the Mac, and Kyle Ewing of the CYC's Verve Cup Committee
The Mac Safety Regulations (MSRs) have been released and are available on our web site. The Notice of Race was released on January 26. 
 
As was previewed last month, the MSRs strongly recommend attendance at a US Sailing Safety at Sea seminar foe 30% of all crew on the boat within the last 5 years. Additionally, we encourage all crewmembers to take this excellent safety training.  The seminar being held at Strictly Sail is now sold out. There are two other Lake Michigan SAS Seminars we are aware of:
We urge you to sign up for a class now, as seats are limited. For other options, see the US Sailing website.
 
Finally, we look forward to seeing all of you at the Pink Pony Party Saturday night at Belmont!
