To become eligible for the race, teams have to be formed using boats racing in minimum two out of three monohull divisions. The term is that the team should not more than one boat of cruising division. The third term is boat will become eligible to take part only in one team.

A.J. Evans, the Storm Trysail Club, Commodore, said “Long back we recognized race Chicago-Mac Race as a ground, providing an opportunity to offshore sailors – proving the myth wrong that the worth of a sailor is measured in salt.”

He added, “There is a community who shares similar offshore experiences. With this, we are hoping that the competition will help in extending the companionship from boats to teams.”

Sarah Renz, the Chair of Race said, “At the time of a Mac, all boats remains focused on their individual performances, and of competitors in the section. We look forward to the PBT that will provide our racers some excuse for heightened companionship all across the divisions with old and new friends.
