4 night minimum (Sat-Tues), $425 a night. 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, full kitchen, dining and living room. Washer and dryer. Covered porch and the terrace shown. And a private elevator (ooh la la). We found this last year and immediately booked it for this year before anyone else got a look at it. We did have to crew-proof it a little bit and hide away any breakable furnishings!

I got two nights at the Murray for 134.00/night ("Historic One Queen Standard") by booking last year.

When I called in December to book for the P-H Mac, they had instilled a three night minimum. For one night, I'll stay on the boat...

Murray as well, I booked in December and they only had a few rooms left and there was the 3 night min but it was only about $220 a night for 2 queen bed room...

We hauled the crapola converted lawn mower engine and went with an outboard. Last year we motored overnight from Frankfort to Port Washington. Refueled and were home for last call at Columbia Saturday night. We'll always take an extra sandwich though.

Gay codespeak? Although I don't think MacGregor ever introduced the a Mac 65 Cruising Wagon, I'd like to spend as much time on one as a Pinto.

I know I wasn't looking at the rating, In my Haste to post (friend was physically pulling me out of my chair) I was just looking at the LOA, Some of the boats names seemed odd and I didn't think they were Section One boats.

The rating for section one is generally anything above a 1.037, It just depends on the fleet.

[Shife]

Start praying for breeze. This could be a really great thing with all these big boats coming to town. Hopefully they have a good enough time that they will return for future races not ending with a '00'.

Edit: wow. what shitty sentence structure. i'm too lazy to rewrite it.

[linc age]

I will venture a guess, that anything rating over 1.1 will be in a turbo section.

Section 1 will boats that rate between 1.02 and 1.099.

Linc

[barleymalt]

Probably about right. Should make for a very interesting Turbo and Sec 1..

[widget]

Looking like a sweet line up. And I can only immagine more to come. I'm stoked. Are they really going to cut the entrys off? That would suck. I know logistics get tricky once your up there. Why not just offer the race sponsored dockage to a set # boats based on the time they entered. It's a slight deterant for late entries but better than getting denied from the party.....

I heard the Flying Tiger 006, now named Gung Ho, got her invite today.

[Lazy Guy]

What happened to "KarMitzvah" or "Flyswatter"

I know, I know.
Personally I prefer Flyswatter, but Sammy got Gung Ho from the Ken Burns film about the 2nd World War.
Apparently Gung Ho means "working together" in Chinese.
It has more of a communistic co-operative sense to the meaning than our semper fi do or die connotation.

Go the Ho!

The 'Turbo' section, in the past, has been reserved for boats that don't meet the requirements of 'traditional' race yachts. For example, before they created a Multi section, Steve Fossett raced ex-Starts & Stripes catamaran in Turbo section. Other examples of 'Turbo' boats are those using canting keels (Genuine Risk), water-ballast (Windquest) and, I would suspect, any boat that uses power winches.

I am not saying that is how it will be for 2008 but that is how it has been in the past.

Oh, and boats in the Turbo section are NOT elligible for the Mac Cup or Mac Trophy (Overall awards).

Oh, and boats in the Turbo section are NOT elligible for the Mac Cup or Mac Trophy (Overall awards).

Turbo boats are purely a ratings based decision and can include traditional keels. They are eligible for all honors and awards (and have been). There is not a hard rule for where the break is. Last year there were only about 3 boats that it would have made sense to split out and that is below the committees threshold for setting a section. There are certainly enough of the really fast this year to establish a turbo section.

There was one year ('01 or '02) where we put moveable ballast boats in a separate section. Only two boats and the committee abandoned that idea after one year. Ever since then they have been allowed to race as any other entry.

Fossett was in an exhibition class which was created primarily for multihulls, and later became the multihull division (i believe we made that change in 1998). THere was only one entry in the old exhibition division that was a monohull, Red Hornet in 1997.

ORR rates canting keels and thus they are allowed. Powered winches are only allowed if the OA allows it and we have only done that for cruising class boats.

The 'Turbo' section, in the past, has been reserved for boats that don't meet the requirements of 'traditional' race yachts. For example, before they created a Multi section, Steve Fossett raced ex-Starts & Stripes catamaran in Turbo section. Other examples of 'Turbo' boats are those using canting keels (Genuine Risk), water-ballast (Windquest) and, I would suspect, any boat that uses power winches.

I am not saying that is how it will be for 2008 but that is how it has been in the past.

Oh, and boats in the Turbo section are NOT elligible for the Mac Cup or Mac Trophy (Overall awards).

Actually, Stars and Stripes raced in the experimental section.

Am I looking at the mac race entry correctly-it would appear that the "PP-2" entered this year is the old decision/pegasus the turbo'ed andrews 70 that went through katrina? If so it looks like another sled won owner lotto in terms of care/rehab. Looks to be an interesting year indeed if that is correct.....chicago crowd wish to chime in on this one?

SparWars3(Olson 30) will be there....I'll be on Bramble(Frers 41) in the CHI-Mac...my 5th (6th if you count one Bayview/Mac).

That would be correct, Jennings has bought the boat and is bringing her to the GL.

Is there an NOR for the rumoured Round the Island (Mackinac) Race?

I heard it would be on Wednesday or Thursday .......

We're planning on that. We probably won't due the IRC thing but the Regatta is fun. Plus, the kids will be with grandma in Bay View across the bay so it will be a little vacation before we bring the boat back south.

So, its 422 now out of 558 invitations issued. To me, that seems like a REAL high hit rate--76%!

Any word on the GL70's doing the IRC races instead of the Bay Harbor Regatta?

No Bay Harbor this year. I think the 70s are doing a W/L regatta at Harbor Springs after Chi-Mac, and some will probably stay for the IRC championship. No idea which boats.

I think he charters that boat for the race. He used to own the J/35 Dark Star, has a Melgi now (I think) and is a fairly big wig in the Detroit area yacht club scene. At least when I was racing there he was. I can neither confirm or deny some people called his J/35 Dark Stain.

He owns a 1d35 and m24 both named Evolution in the Detroit area. He recently bought the old Colt 45.

[Rich Frye]

With 558 invites sent out, that number being about twice the average of boats that do the race, and with about 450 already entered, all joking aside, how does CYC plan to pull this off without some serious shit going down on and around the island? There seems not to be a cut-off number other than that 558 sent out.
Anyone involved care to shed some light on depth of logistics involved and gone over?

[JoeO]

With so many entries, I really think it's time to reconsider that Hobart-style start... just think what it could look like! Who wants to serve on the jury now??!!
