m{\mnnHistor How many times have we battered our bodies and our boats to reach that isoIated, primitive wooded rock called Mackinac? Each time is a new adventure, though we may have sailed it many times before. But it was nearly 350 years ago that someone other than an lndian first saw the fabled Mackinac. Either Samuel de Champlain in 1615 or Jean Nicolet in 1634 was probably the first, but Father Claude Allouez in 1569 singled it out for a special description in his diary as the

meeting place and trading focus of the northern waters. Mackinac was destined to lead Chicago along the road to fame. lt was in 1673 that the Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette expedition crossed some mud flats at the southern end of Lake Michigan and noted that this was the beginning of the portage to reach the Big River.

Historically, the lndians had used Mackinac as a trading post for unrecorded years before the Europeans came. The Chippewa, the lroquois, the Hurons and other tribes used Mackinac as a neutral zone where furs, clothing

and minerals could be exchanged; a peaceful moment between periods of conf lict. As any visitor to the reconstructed fort on Mackinai surely knows, the island

has changed hands many times. The French, the British and the Americans have planted their flags over her soil, and each of these more than once. ln 1780 the British commander Patrick Sinclair moved his fort from the mainland to the heights of Mackinac to better control the straits. Fifteen years later, far to the south, the U.S. purchased a 6 mile square site, in 1795, on which Chicago's Fort Dearborn was erected in 1803. The

similarity between Chicago and Mackinac began to grow. The rich natural resourcesofthe north

drew commerce to Mackinac. John Jacob Astor founded his fur trading company and soon the wealth of the north could be found on the streets of New York. The opening of the Erie Canal

in 1825 pulled the migration route onto

the Creat Lakes from the Ohio River. Now Chicago began to grow into a focal point for the westward stampede.

By 1830 the rich fur resources were being depleted, and Mackinac turned to fishing the water's bounty - whitefish and lake trout. Chicago was incorporated in 1837, and by 1852 the railroads were complete from Chicago to the

West. The westward rush was in full flood. With industry came wealth, and by 1859 Chicago was the transportation hub of the growing country. Perhaps f it-

tingly, in a bar, a group of eight men interested in the sport of yachting sat down in August '1869 to draw up a charter for the first yacht club in Chicago The Chicago Yacht Club. A fleet of eighteen footers was commissioned and Ay rcZl the fleet was ready foI its first race. Two hundred years after Father Allouez wrote of the craft at Mackinac, the sport of yachting made its appearance in Chicago. But just as Mackinac cycled between good times and bad, the Chicago Yacht Club became a victim of the Chicago Fire of October 8, 1871. It was not until the major work of restoring the city was nearly complete, in 1875, that Chicago Yacht Club, was once again founded. This time it survived and this year it will celebrate its 106th birthday. ln August of 1898 five large topsail yachts, two of them sloops and three of them schooners, decided to race to Mackinac. The Vanenna was first in 51 hours, Siren was second, just an hour behind, with the Hawthorne arriving just 17 minutes later. Nomadstraggled in three days later and Toxteth did not finish. So the pattern was set very early. Throughout the history of the Mackinac the tales abound of close finishes, wild blows with many yachts not finishing, long calms and frustrations. Seven years later, in 1904, the sailing

instructions were set out much as they are today. "Yachts must be not less than 21 foot class, any rig. Before starting, Captain.of each yacht must satisfy the Committee that he has on board proper navigation instruments, charts, etc., and that he has a proper log book, which must be kept with hourly entries and handed in at the end of the race, a spe-

cial prize to be given for the best kept log. There will be four valuable cups and cash prizes paid in gold of g'100, $50 and

$25 given for schooners, sloops ani yawls, a cup for time prize, and a club pennant for first boat to cross the finisl' line." lf any of the women sailing or skipper-

ing today feel that this is the time c,; Equal Rights in yachting, they may w i-.i

to pause and reflect that the path wa! blazed by Miss Evelyn Wright in 191 ! when she, and her all woman crew, skippered fhe Lady Eileen, a 32' sloop, :: Mackinac. But those were not the times of the small boat. The race was dominated br the likes of Chicago Mayor William (Bie Bill) Thompson artd his81'schooner l'almore, and Dr. William Baum's 100' steei hulled schooner Amorita. These giants

held sway until the '1911 race, the year the elapsed and corrected records fo' the Mackinac were established and har e

not been touched since. Amorlta

covered the 333 mile course in 3'1 hours 14 minutes and 30 seconds. The new'lr

built Mavoureen, built to the P Class limits of the Universal rule, did that one better however, with a corrected time oi

only 28 houns,31 minutes and 51 seconds. lt took an B0 mile an hour gale

from the southwest to do it, but the. survived, and their record still stanc: today.

The Universal Rule prevailed ic'

another 15 years, but after an R Clas. sloop won in 1924, the R's and Q's w e'e banned in 1926, and in 1927 a Cruis "r Division was started. The battle of :": rules raged for twenty-five more \ea-: until 1952 when the Universal Dir isic was finally dropped. But the Unire'.. designs, those long, wet, narrow, dee:

graceful and powerful hulls, kept ccompeting. The blow ol'1937 was t\ p c: of the character of sailors that the:: designs produced. "Rubaiyat was of: B . Sable when the big storm broke, sai -a

He never slept, nor left the stick except for ten-minute catnaps which he took in the cockpit all the way to Mackinac.

THE GREAT AUDIT CAPER As we tune in it is the night before

the Mack and the auditteam has iust gathered to review the various boat "visits and make some notes for the 1982 race. As the lights dim one of the auditors is sPeaking... "Damn, if one more owner offers me a drink, t think l'll accePt and pour it on the teakl lt's just amazing how many people seemed to do that again thii year. I can't really figure out if they are truly trying to be nice,

or think they can get awaY. with

something. With 16 boats a daY to audit, you'd have to Pull me from the bil!e before noon. Let's Put in a new rule for next year, 'AnY skiPPer offering an auditor a drink stronger than witer gets ten minutes added to the corrected time."' Another auditor chimed in, "YeP, the stories this year were just like last vear. My favorite was the skiPPer who claimed a whole bunch of gear was in his 'Pandora's Box' right here. . except it wasn't. And it wasn't in the sail locker where he pointed, either. I sure appreciate those skipperswho lay out'ill tfre gear in order of the audit and stand back while I check it out." "'Kits' seemed popular stumbling blocks this year too," rePlied the f irst auditor. "Ever try to fix something with a tool kit made uP solelY of i screwdriver, a wrench and a hammer? Or the f irst aid kit of bandaids and mercurochrome? l'd hate to get a broken arm on that boatl Why do you suppose peoPle trY to go offshore equipped like that? lt's not hard to imagine circumstances where you couldn't get to shore for twelve hours or more. That's a long

time to be in pain. But then there was the yacht who didn't have a manual on board, but claimed to have a doctor on the crew. I don't suppose they ever thought. about whdt would happen if the doc got hurt." A third auditor spoke uP, "l reallY had a hard time awarding the'Dim Bulb' prize this year. One skiPPer had flaihlights and strobe lights with no batteries while another was quite surorised to find out that the runnine lieht bulbs were burned out. Soaies?" I haven't worked out how two D cells will back uP a three cell flashlight. It's surprising how many folks ale going to wind up sailing in the dark - literally."

"l almost had to laugh, sPeaking of being in the dark," PiPed uP the second- auditor, "When I asked

where the fuel shut-off valve is, one

skipper tore open no less than six lockers and doors, each time saYing, here.' That poor boat 'lt's right -have been burned to the would waterline by the time he found it' And I wonder, who else, if anyone, knew where it was." It was the first auditor who sPoke next. "There was quite a crowd in the 'Close But No Cigar' category. My favorites were the unmarked square cushions and lifebelts, the lead line without any markings and

the radio without the required channels. But perhaps the Prize

should go to the yacht whose man overboald pole was checked, and it sank." "Creative compliance falls into that same category," said the third' There was the skipper who called

I had moved on to another boat when a crew member who didn't recognize me, came uP to the skipper with an anchor in his hand and said, 'That skiPPer over there thanks you for the use of our anchor, he's been audited and is gir ing it back.' Well, wasn't it Lincolr w6o made that remark about fooling some of the peoPle all of the time and all of the peoPle some o' the time but never all of the PeoPle all of the time?"
