Default Chicago offshore race

This one is for Matt T. Chicago on the schedule for race in August, any idea where exactly? And which harbor they will use for the home base?

It would be awesome if we could watch it from Navy Pier. I know they section off the East end of the Pier when the Sail GP F50 catamarans come into town. I hope they can have the same venue for this event!

Back in the day they would run right past navy pier. Been twenty years. Maybe 31st, pit out of McCormick. But Friday and Saturday nights are rough at 31st and LSD
