Pre-registration has opened for the 100th Bayview Mackinac Race in 2024 — the world’s longest consecutively running freshwater yacht race. By pre-registering, sailors will be allowed to register for the race a week before official race registration opens in early October 2023.
“Planning for the 2024 Bayview Mackinac Race is going very well; we are looking at some exciting ideas for sailors and the public. We are expecting boats and sailors from all over the world to come to Michigan to participate in the 100th,” says Charlie Trost, 2024 Bayview Mackinac Race chair. “We expect a large fleet for the 2024 race, maybe the largest ever, and with limited dockage, berthing on the island will be at a premium. The goal in opening pre-registration so early is to secure boats who have been regular participants of the race and give new and out-of-town boats time to plan.”
The 100th Bayview Mackinac Race will start on July 20, 2024.
