MILWAUKEE, WI to SOUTH HAVEN, MI
Join the fleet for a terrific time and a grand adventure. Plan now to participate in the 74th sailing of a storied yachting event, the Queen's Cup. Sponsored by South Shore Yacht Club, the annual overnight sprint across Lake Michigan departs for South Haven on June 29. We anticipate more than 200 boats and more than 1,400 crew will participate.
The race will take us to a new venue this year: South Haven. The members of Shouth Haven YC have joined forces with city government and business leaders to provide a fun and exciting weekend there. Click here for more information about SHYC.
