. 2001 Chicago Mackinac Race Updates
Preliminary Results From Chicago Mackinac Race Committee 

Winds picked up overnight, as the bulk of the fleet made its way across the finish line of the 94th Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac presented by LEXUS. As of 11 a.m. (EDT) all but 11 of the 297 boats had crossed the finish line, including four boats who dropped out of the race. 

Scores have just been updated to reflect the new arrivals, and division winners are:

PHRF

Jerome Sullivan’s Bacchant, a 64-foot mahogany sailboat built in Norway in the 1930s

leads the Performance Handicapped Racing Federation (PHRF) division, which rates different types of boats with a handicap so that they can fairly race against each other.  The Milwaukee Yacht Club boat has a corrected time of 30:33:07. Second place in the PHRF division is Charles Boelkins’ Ragged Edge at 12:32:26, followed by Jack Kelley’s C.C. Rider at 30:49:21.

While Larry Ellison’s yacht Sayonara earned First-to-Finish honors for the PHRF division, with corrected time adjusted for handicap and penalties, the boat will not place in its class or division.

One Design

Bill Alcott’s Great Lakes 70 Equation leads the One Design Division with an adjusted time of 36:24:25.  The One Design Division is comprised of five different classes, each made up of similar boats, with time adjustments made according to the predicted boat speed for the class.

Equation also earned one-design class First-to-Finish honors by edging out record holder Dick Jenning’s Pied Piper by 22 seconds.  Pied Piper is in second with 36:26:35, followed by Peter Thornton’s Holua at 36:56:39.

Open

Gamera, a 27-foot trimaran owned by Matthew Scharl of the Midwest Open Racing Fleet is the winner of the open division (multi-hulled boats) with an adjusted time of 32:44:45.  The boat also earned First-to-Finish honors for the division.  Second place goes to Bruce Geffen’s Nice Pair at 33:29:20, followed by David Schneider’s High Priority 2 at 35:05:36.
