Blue Moves has done some single-handed distance racing, but this will be her first Mackinac race, sailing as a double-hander. It will be her owner's first Mackinac race since HS/college days many years ago. Blue Moves is named after her owner's favorite Elton John album, released in 1976, has Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word, among other great songs. The lettering on the transom matches the design on the album cover. Owner thought some fellow sailors, perhaps another Elton John fan, might make the connection, but this has yet to happen. Oh well... |

We have a well seasoned crew with over 135 collective Mackinac Races between us. The crew is made up of family and close friends that have been sailing together for many years. Between us we have many first, second, and third place finishes as well as some overall wins. Manitou is an Algonquian Indian word meaning spirit. This spirit is seen as a (contactable) person as well as a concept. Everything has its own Manitou—every plant, every stone, even machines. Why not a boat. This year we hope the spirit of Manitou brings us across the finish line in first place. |

Ohana is the Hawaiian word for family. In 2020, Tor and Laurie Hough purchased Ohana (Ex-Equation). While Tor has sailed for decades on boats owned by others, 2020 was the family’s first foray into ownership. After a bit of scrambling in the early summer, Ohana’s crew shook out to be a mix of the Equation sailors alongside the Hough family and a handful of Tor’s former shipmates.
Given the pandemic, the 2020 season was different. The opportunities to compete and socialize were fewer and intentionally smaller. Still, Ohana managed to establish a core crew and capture a third in class and third overall in the Bayview Mackinac Race. In 2022, Ohana seeks to extend its family and enjoy its company while competing in the CYC Race to Mackinac, the Bayview Mackinac Race, the Ugotta Regatta, and other Detroit-area regattas. |

30 year old boat! Sailed on the Great Lakes many years,seventh time doing the Mackinac island race. Skipper Ken Block has done the race seven times.This year he and his crew have put a lot of hard work into renovating and updating this great yacht.

History. Boats named "ROWDY" have been raced in the Bayview Mackinac Races for the past 39 consecutive years by Val A. Saph. The name "ROWDY" comes from a former Bayview boat; a 61' J-40 owned by former BYC member Ril Wigle, and chartered by Val and other teenagers for 2-week trips on Lakes Huron & Michigan and Georgian Bay, in the late 1950's. That boat was noted for its leopard skin interior, wild parties and having come close to going over Niagara Falls until the anchor held when Ril took a wrong turn. It now resides in Europe after an extensive refit. The current Rowdy is a Thomas 35 raced in the Mackinac Race since 1990. It has taken first place in its class in 1991, 1993, 2007 and 2018. Most of the current crew have raced on Rowdy for many years. Former crew member Kent Herzer, who was lost off this boat on a return trip after a Mackinac race, is still sorely missed by everyone. ROWDY is proud to represent Port Huron Yacht Club, which has always warmly welcomed the Bayview/Mackinac racers to Port Huron. |

Shape was acquired in November 2000 and raced each year since 2001 in the Port Huron - Mackinac race. A few Old Goats on-board, a couple getting close and some that are fairly new to our crew. Shape has 8 - First place class finishes and a First Overall Division finish in 2014 when the majority of the fleet raced with us on the Shore Course. Several of the crew with many wins have since retired from racing. Last year we had one (1) on board that claimed her 1st Mackinac 1st on her debut race, two (2) that claimed their 2nd Mackinac 1st, with the other 5 adding to their collections. As of now the 2023 race will be a repeat cast. We have a lot of laughs along the way, and that fun should not mask the truth.... we intend to compete hard and win. |

This is Team Sirocco's 4th time competing in the Bayview Mac Race, and first time doing the race on the J/160 SIROCCO. Sirocco will be doing the Bayview Mac, the Chicago Mac, and the Trans Superior race this year competing in the Barthel Tri-Lakes Challenge. Sirocco is a real family boat with two father and son pairs, a father/daughter pair, and a pair of identical twins on board! What's more, two of the fathers are brothers(Patrick & Larry), and so two of the father's children (Mary & Jim) are first cousins. This will be the first Mac race for Mary Hilliard, Andrea Mazur, and Nicole Mazur, and the first Bayview Mac for William Klairmont (who has done 2 Chicago Macs before).
The skipper Bob Klairmont grew up sailing with his mother and father and has sailed all of his life as well. Bob did his first Chicago Mac race in 1972 with his parents aboard the yacht Elaine May. Since then Bob has done 22 Chicago Mac races, one Trans Superior race, 3 Bayview Mac Races, 22 Queen's Cup races, 4 Hundred Miler races, one The Hook race, several SORC races, hundreds of buoy races and more. Bob, Patrick, and Larry are thrilled to be sailing with their sons & daughters on this great race! |

This will be our 2nd Mac race and we are looking forward to it. We hope to have as much fun as we had the last time. We are still learning the boat and hope to do better than we did last time. The goal for us is to finish and then tell tall tails. We have been sailing Wavelength on Lake Erie, so coming up to Port Huron and racing to Mackinac is a great adventure. Looking forward to a fun race! Fair Winds! |

Zubenelgenubi is one of the original Cal-30s built by Jensen Marine. The boat was originally owned by Kurt Keydel, Woody Warrick, and John Martin and named Trigon. When Woody Warrick took over ownership in 1982 he changed the name to Zubenelgenubi, a third - order double navigational star. That was also the year that it won its class and its division in the Mackinac race. The boat is now owned by Kurt Keydel's sons Eric and Conrad. |
