Hi Richard,
The history of the cup itself is here:
http://ssyc.org/queens-cup/qchistory
General information about the race is at
http://ssyc.org/queens-cup/queens-cup-home
The race is a bit unique in that it starts at 6PM on a Friday night and goes
across Lake Michigan, so most of the racing is in the dark. It always
originates at South Shore Yacht Club in Milwaukee (where I am a member), but
the finish moves from year to year on the Michigan side. This year it finishes
at South Haven, which is southeast of Milwaukee, but has gone as far north as
Ludington, with Muskegon also being a common destination. Race distances vary
from about 75-90 miles depending on the finish port. This is the 77th year of
the race, with the cup itself having a longer history as explained in the link
above.
No direct C&C involvement, but there are always a number of them participating.
One of these years I am going to get moving on preparation and crew
recruitment and do it on our 30-2. I have done the QC on other boats in past
years though.

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).
