Introduction
The Red Flannels Regatta is hosted
by Fleet 5 and sailed on the open waters of Lake Michigan east of
Montrose Harbor.
This regatta, sailed annually since 1952, is the last of the Midwest District
regattas each
season. The regatta
earns its name from the fact that conditions on the lake in late September
are often
dominated by cool NE wind
blowing 15 - 25 kts. There is no better way to test a season hardened
crew!
This event draws 20+ boats
and regularly includes a couple of North America's top 10 racers.
We invite you
to come test your mettle
in Chicago!
