The culmination of the annual Chicago to Mackinac Island sailboat race in 2025 will generate a collection of finishing times and rankings for each participating vessel. This data set will likely include details such as elapsed time, corrected time (accounting for handicap allowances), divisional placements, and overall standings. Example data might show the winning boat’s time, the average finishing time across all divisions, or the number of boats that completed the race.
This information holds significant value for sailors, race organizers, and sailing enthusiasts. It provides a definitive record of the race, allowing for performance analysis, comparison between competitors, and the identification of emerging trends in sailing technology and strategy. Historically, the race results have contributed to the rich tapestry of Great Lakes sailing history, documenting the evolution of the sport and the enduring challenge presented by this prestigious freshwater classic.
