About Our Fleet:

The Lake Michigan Fleet has 24 active boats at the start of the 2011 racing season.  If past years are any indication, the parity and the competitiveness of the 36.7 fleet will provide for racing that will thrill sailors and spectators alike. On any given day, there is the opportunity for any boat to be in the top spot.  

2004 was the first season that the Lake Michigan Fleet competed in one-design racing, and the fleet has been going strong since. The fleet has had one-design starts in the Colors Regatta, Chicago NOOD Regatta, Chicago to Mackinac Race, Verve Cup Regatta and Area 3 events every year with double-digit participation in each.

Not only does the Lake Michigan 36.7 Fleet see competitive racing on the course, but there is a great level of camaraderie between the owners and crews. This makes for great conversation and lots of laughs after a spirited day of racing. Whether it be along the docks, under the regatta tent, or on any given night when Mark Norris and Bob Foley can be found holding court at the CYC's Mac Bar, the Lake Michigan 36.7 Fleet represents the best of what one-design racing has to offer.
