Chicago to Mackinac
Idag går starten för 440 båtar i det 100:e Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac. Här finns en ny variant av tracker som följer alla båtar.
Rob Zerban i sin J/109 Zeitergeist är väl favorit i klassen efter att ha varit tvåa totalt förra året. Han var också tvåa i årets Chicago-Mac Solo Challenge (287 distans som i år tog nästan 4 dygn) och spikade både klassen och totalt i 2008 Chicago NOOD Regatta.
Jag hade ett erbjudande att segla med Jim Vaudreuil i ZigZag, så jag hoppas de får till det! Good luck Jim!
