2025 Bayview Mackinac Race Weather Seminar

100th Bayview Mackinac Race presented by National Fleet Services © Lynn Kotwicki

Since this seminar was so well received last year, we are offering it again!

Doing well in a long-distance race such as the Bayview Mack or Chicago Mac demands teamwork, endurance, and a routing strategy based on an accurate weather forecast. Developing a competitive strategy requires an understanding of basic weather forecasting principles, a familiarity with weather resources, and a working knowledge of modern routing software.

Mark Thornton, LakeErieWX, and BYC are offering an online three-part webinar series designed for sailors who are relatively new to long-distance racing or experienced competitors who would like to refresh their skills before the season begins. (Mark Thornton provides the Bayview Mackinac Race weather briefings.)

The first seminar date is February 18th.
