Another Queen’s Cup is behind us and it was a tremendous success. A big thank you to the Staff and volunteers that make this event possible. Aside from light air for the start our fleet of racers were treated with flat seas and a steady breeze all the way across the lake. Of the 123 boats that started the race 123 made it to Michigan.SSYC was well represented this year with 26 boats entered.

The 2024 South Shore Yacht Club Queen’s Cup® Race
Plan now to enter the 85th challenge of one of the most storied yacht races on the Great Lakes. This year’s night race across Lake Michigan departs from Milwaukee, WI for South Haven, MI on June 28, 2024. Both Milwaukee’s South Shore Yacht Club and the South Haven Yacht Club will provide an experience worthy of this 85th Queen’s Cup Race. The race is open to all boats with a valid 2024 Midwest Performance Handicap Racing Fleet (MW-PHRF) rating certificate and ORC rating certificates. We will continue to have starts for the shorthanded fleet (with a limit of two crew per boat) and a cruising fleet for non-spinnaker monohulls. We are looking forward to increasing the participation of one design boats such as the GL52, J/111, Beneteau 40.7, Beneteau 36.7, and Tartan 10s. The racing between these boats and other one design boats has been close in prior years. The fee structure is based on boat length. This helps to make the fee schedule more affordable for smaller boats.
