(Macatawa Bay, MI)- Hosted by Macatawa Bay YC, the 2018 edition of the
J/111 North American Championship will be taking place from September

waters of Lake Michigan. An excellent turnout of sixteen teams are
participating that includes past World, North American, Midwinter,
Chicago-Mackinac, Bayview-Mackinac, and Chicago NOOD class champions- a
remarkable collection of talent for just 16 boats!Hoping to lead that charge will be World Champion Peter Wagner with his San Francisco-based crew on SKELETON KEY. Two Midwinter and Key West Champions from the Cleveland, OH and Lake Erie circuit will be up to the challenge of squaring off with the top West Coast team, they are Rob Ruhlman’s SPACEMAN SPIFF and Jeff Davis’ SHAMROCK.
The local Chicago/ Midwest superstar teams include the trio on KASHMIR (Brummel, Henderson, Mayer), Kevin Saedi & Raman Yousefi on MOMENTUS, John Kalanik’s PURA VIDA, Rich Witzel’s ROWDY and Brad Faber’s UTAH. From the East Coast are two strong teams, Jim Connelly’s SLUSH FUND from Annapolis, MD and Andrew & Sedgwick Ward’s BRAVO from Shelter Island, NY.
