The Mac Race is the longest fresh water regatta in the world, covering 366 miles of Lake Michigan. The race is world famous for its length, location, and intensity quite often being subject to challenging weather conditions over the 2 to 4 days of sailing.
You can watch the regatta online as the race's host, the Chicago Yacht club offer the racers transponders which will make their position available to interested viewers. Although sailing coverage is always at a premium, covering a race in this way has raised controversy at different levels of the sport as racers argue about the fairness of being able to see the position of competitors while sailing in open water miles apart.
More information on the 2008 Chicago Mac Race is available on the Chicago Yacht Club's Web Page.
