About the MacMan Challenge
The ‘MacMan’ is a competitive racing/cruising event that offers a Spinnaker/gennaker division for serious competitors and a JAM (White Sail) class for those who don’t want the fuss of a spinnaker.
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 fish fry dinner and a few libations to celebrate your progress. The next morning starts with a great breakfast sponsored by the Gore Bay Rotary Club.
