2018 Championship Results


The Chicago NOOD's and CYC Verve Cup always make for some of the best windward leeward racing in America. This year we also participated in the North American Championships held in Harbor Springs. All three regattas were great, once again proving One Design racing is the absolute best. Every turn was exciting with position changes happening on many legs, and there were a number of close finishes.

Congratulations all the winners.

Congratulations to The Asylum for winning the series demonstrating incredible consistency.

 It takes a real dedication to show up for every race as demonstrated by a number of crews. Thank You to our sponsor Larsen Marine.

2018 VIN Long Distance Series Results

 As always weather always play a big part, but the competition was especially tight this year. Made more complicated by some scoring issues at the finish, that said, the participating J105’s were quick to compare notes and support the race committees in clarifying the finishes.  Thank you to all for demonstrating the extraordinary sportsmanship that makes this such a great Fleet.

Congratulations to the winners and a big Thank You to our sponsor VIN

Time to put away the boat, but don't be too down. It could be worse, as one unlucky J105 found out this summer. The picture speaks to the sea worthiness of the greatest OD sailboat on Lake Michigan.

Join us for the Fall Party at Weather Mark Tavern Saturday, Nov, 10 starting at 7:00 PM

Awards, drinks, and good friends. Come one, come all.

Cheers
