(Cheboygan, MI)- The North Star Sail Club in Cheboygan, MI will be
hosting the fifteen-boat J/35 fleet for their 2018 North American
Championship on the beautiful northeast shores of Michigan on the
verdant green waters of Lake Huron. From July 27th to 29th, the racing promises to be extremely
competitive as many teams have had a chance to fine tune their crews in
the two classic Great Lakes offshore races- the Bayview Mackinac Race
and the Chicago Mackinac Race over the past three weeks- both amongst
the most popular offshore events in the worlds. Past winners of the J/35 N.A.’s that are participating this year, include such Midwest legends like “Wild Bill” (Bill Wildner) sailing his MR BILL’S WILD RIDE from Detroit, MI; Bruce, Eric & Chris Metcalf’s BOZO’S CIRCUS from Chicago, IL; and Larry Schell’s TOUCH OF GREY from Chicago, IL.
There are many aspirants to the N.A. Champion throne, including Rick Stage’s ALPHA PUPPY from Chicago, IL; Larry Taunt’s BAD DOG from Muskegon, MI; Mitch Weisman’s successful FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER from Chicago, IL; and Cheryl Miller’s DEAN’S LIST from East Tawas, MI. Should be incredibly fun and close racing amongst this “glitterati illuminati” of the Great Lakes J/35 world. For more J/35 North American Championship sailing information Add to Flipboard Magazine.
