Hook Race 2008The first HOOK Race was sailed in 1984 with 12 boats racing from Racine, WI to Menominee, MI. Bud Garcia, RYC Past Commodore, and John Bennett, Custom Sails, ran the HOOK Race during its first 5 years. In 1986 the finish location was changed to Sturgeon Bay, WI. To date, the fastest elapsed time was just under 24 hours in 1987, by Foxfire, a Hunter 54 owned by Mark Westdale. This year the Hook Race will return to the M&M Yacht Club in Menomonee MI. for the finish, we are returning to ‘OurRoots’ for the 25thconsecutive running of this race. We are also introducing a separate race for racers in a Doublehanded Category. It has been determined by Hook Race Management that the total distance for all sections including the Doublehanders has been revised to 189 nm. As this, the 25th running of the Hook Race, it was decided that the same course used during the first running of the race would be the most advantageous to all racers. Official course and distance will be provided in the Sailing Instructions.The HOOK Race combines strong competition with the navigational challenge of Death’s Door. Finishing the race in Menominee provides opportunities for cruising vacations afterwards. The M&M YC has several races planned for the following week culminating with their 100 Miler. The Hook Race is a Category 3 race open to all sailboats eligible to make a race of this distance and duration, with full regard.
