Chicago Match Race Cup / August 21 - 23, 2009
The CMRC will host over 40 professional and amateur sailors for this grade two match race regatta. Racing will begin each day at 10 a.m. and depending on conditions will continue throughout afternoon.
Spectators are encouraged to enjoy the close to shore racing just north of Belmont Harbor. Information on the sport of match racing, its rules, and the skippers will be available at the CMRC shore-side tent.
The regatta will open with a round robin to seed teams into tournament style elimination rounds, which will determine the ultimate winner.
