OFFSHORE ON A LAKE
The Chicago–Mackinac is a 330-mile offshore sailing race across Lake Michigan — and one of the great yacht races in the world. Hundreds of boats head north from Chicago to Mackinac Island. It’s the largest annual offshore in the world, it started over 120 years ago and yet very few people have heard of it.
It’s a race that can throw almost anything at its competitors: violent squalls, glassy calms, intense heat, freezing nights and torrential rain — sometimes all in the same day.
So PlanetSail headed to Chicago to follow the fleet, meet the people who return year after year along with some of those doing it for the first time to discover what makes the Chicago–Mackinac Race so special.
