New for 2024 - CYC is having three Offshore Race Cruises. Along with our Beaver Island Race, we will be adding a race cruise to Northport, and another to Garden Island.
For the Northport and Garden Island races it won’t be considered cheating if you use your motor. Especially if your buddy has a faster boat and you need to keep up. Your finish time will be adjusted if you need to stop to catch a fish or go swimming. Redress is based on the number of fish caught.
All boats are welcome to join us. Monitor Channel 69.
