About the MacMan Challenge
The ‘MacMan’ is a competitive racing/cruising event that offers a spinnaker/genniker division for serious competitors, a whitesail class for those who don’t want the fuss of a spinnaker and a double-handed class for those couples or friends who are into the added challenge.
The event starts on the beautiful shores of Mackinac Island, the U.S. gateway to the North Channel at the Mackinac Island Yacht Club. The start with the Grand Hotel in the background is enough to inspire any crew. The first stop is the beautiful port of Gore Bay, Canada where you can explore the natural beauty of the area and end your first port day with a fresh fish dinner and a few libations to celebrate your progress.
