As it is now finally nice in Chicago this page is getting put up pretty hurriedly. If you need a nice well protected harbor try Jackson Park. The club is small, but fairly active. Extra crew is always needed for the Chicago to Mackinac race. It's not too hard to get a ride if you have a few years racing experience. It takes about 3 days to complete the race, a week if you have to bring the boat back. These races should take up the rest of your free time. Look for more information and pictures when I get time.
