Chicago Yacht Club

Chicago Yacht Club is a preeminent organizer and host of regattas, races and predictedlog contests in the United States. Annually, the club presents the storied Race to Mackinac, the longest annual freshwater race in the world, as well as the popular Verve Cup and NOOD for offshore racing, and the Timme Angsten Regatta, a cold-weather challenge for collegiate sailors in November. Our club also is the proud host of the North American Challenge Cup, a race for disabled sailors in its 15th season. Through 2006, the race doubles as the U.S. Independence Cup, the national championship for disabled sailors. Members and participants in most of these events gain national attention in some of the most spectacular sailing media coverage of the season for their participation. The club also offers an array of spectacular off-the-water amenities such as fine dining and full-service catering at both clubhouses — Monroe Station and Belmont Station.
