First Blockhead to the Island 2024 – Could It Be You?
June 27, 2024
Calling all Chicago Mackinac racing Blockheads!
The Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac® is an iconic freshwater offshore race — 289.4 nautical miles up Lake Michigan, starting in Chicago, Illinois and finishing on Mackinac Island, Michigan.
Are you under 25 and sailing the 2024 Mac Race? Simply sign up for the contest below, and you’ll be eligible for the ‘First Blockhead to the Island’ Award. The first one to the island wins! We’ll call the winner up onstage and present you with a plaque during the Sailors’ Celebration and awards on Mackinac Island on Tuesday, July 16 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. EST at the Mission Point Resort.
This could be you! Last year’s winner was Megan Geith, who sailed on the Beneteau 47.7 ‘Dakota’ from Chicago Yacht Club.
