The Queen's cup was traditionally run from Milwaukee to Muskegon but has
branched out to other harbors recently. It is a fairly old race (this
year is the 77th) and is an overnight drag race across the lake.
Frequently a single set of sails, many times a Spinnaker run. This year
the course is a little more SW and will probably be a single sail
setting but probably not a spinnaker run (unless the wind is out of the
Northwest). It is organized by the South Shore Yacht Club in Milwaukee
and the South Haven host is South Haven Yacht Club (I am not a member of
either).
There are 11 C&C's entered on the web site, C&C 115, C&C 110, C&C 99
(2), C&C 40-2, C&C 39, C&C 36 (2), C&C 33-2, C&C 30-2, C&C 30. Boats
range from an Andrews 77 (-144 PHRF) to an Erickson 27 (238 PHRF).
A lot of boats will do the Tripp Cup from South Haven to Milwaukee on
Wednesday and then back with the Queen's Cup of Friday.
This will be my first time crossing the lake. Should be interesting.

I am not familiar with the Queen's Cup Race; could you share more
information about it? It's history and inception , then course, and
naturally, the C&C involvement? Thanks

Neil,
Best of luck to you and Glenn. The Queen’s Cup can be a very fun race
with good conditions. I have a lot of friends from this side of the
lake that do it every year.

Our own Glenn Gambel will be sailing his C&C 36 in the Queens Cup
(Milwaukee to South Haven, Mi) next week. I am going to crew for him
(Not much rail meat since I lost 75 lbs, but I can still grind a
winch). We leave White Lake, Mi Tuesday night for an overnight across
the lake and then race back to South Haven leaving Friday night.
No tracking, but I'll update the list when we get in to South Haven
(my home port).
