The 2012 Verve Distance Race is less
than 1 month away, running Saturday, August 11. There’s still time to register, but hurry because registration closes
August 3.
New this year are predefined race courses of different lengths (8 miles to almost 30 miles) to match different wind conditions.
The entry fee of $2.50/boat foot includes:
- Race entry including a world class Race Committee.
- Access to social events at the Chicago Yacht Club's Monroe station, including skipper’s meeting with professional weather briefing, live music, and a Mount Gay rum pour.
- A skipper’s bag with sponsor’s gifts (think sailor’s equivalent of a VIP gift bag).
- Dockage at Chicago Yacht Club, Monroe Harbor station.
- Awards include:
- Brag flags for first, second, third places in each section.
- The overall best corrected finish will be awarded the 8 Mile Buoy Trophy.
This is a fantastic way to spend the day on the water, either as an experienced racer or someone new to sailboat racing. Come early or stay late and enjoy downtown Chicago's beautiful Lake Front, steps from Millennium Park, Chicago's Museum Campus, and all the arts and entertainment Chicago offers.
