Happy Friday!

Cruising Class Rules
The Cruising Class Rules for the 2023 Bayview Mackinac Race have been posted on the official race website (www.bycmack.com). Please note that the 12-inch limitation pertaining to setting the tack of a spinnaker to a tackpoint or line attached to a block mounted forward of the forestay has been removed from the Cruising Class Rules for the 2023 Race. However, if a boat chooses to exercise this option, it is responsible for reporting the dimension of its spinnaker tack point (TPS) when applying for its ORC rating certificate.
