(Chicago, IL)- While the Chicago YC’s Belmont Harbor station is hosting
what is technically called the Verve Cup Inshore Regatta, they might as
well re-label it the J/70 Verve Cup Regatta! After all, by far the
largest class by an order of magnitude is the Great Lakes J/70 fleet on
the starting line- eighteen boats strong from across the Midwest! The competition promises to be excellent, with a number of Chicago’s top names in offshore and one-design classes in the hunt. Watch for some of these teams to be on the leaderboard, such as John Heaton’s EMPEIRIA, Steve Knoop’s AMERICAN FLYER, Mark & Sarah Renz’s BERTEAU GROUP, Preston Wake’s HOBGOBLIN 8, Amy Neill’s NITEMARE, Leif & Laura Sigmond’s NORBOY, Pam Rose’s ROSEBUD, Peter Wright’s TAIPAN/ SB and Richard Lehmann’s WIND CZAR!
