She was sailed up to Chesapeake Bay in 1997, where the current owner (Ben White) purchased her in time for the 2001 Chicago Mackinac Race. Some of the crew of Radiance were members of Ben's previous Radiance crew aboard a classic Sparkman Stevens designed Tartan 30. This first Radiance was a featured boat in the 2000 WTTW production "The Race To Mackinac". That 2000 Mackinac race was Ben's first as a captain and brought this tight knit crew their closest to a podium finish. 4th place. We hope to be on the podium this year! |

Rowdy Sail #: USA 42418 Type: 1989 Thomas 35 (35.42) Owner: Val C. Saph Home Port: Armada, MI Yacht Club: Port Huron Yacht Club Class: Racing Crew Members: |
History: 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. ROWDY crew is pumped and excited to tackle the Cove Island Course for the 99th running, as we commemorate the life of the late "Captain Andy" Connolly! Sail FAST! |

This will be our 5th Mack race and we are looking forward to it. The crew has changed over the years, but not the excitement. We expect to have as much fun as we had in previous races. We are still learning the boat, a continual process, and hope to do better. The goal for us is to finish and then tell tall tales. We sail Wavelength on Lake Erie, so coming up to Port Huron and racing to Mackinac is a great adventure for us. Looking forward to another fun race! Fair Winds! |
