Chimo Race

The Chimo, which means "I am friendly" in Inuktitut (language of Northern Canada), is an end-of season event open to sailors of all clubs in the Windsor and Detroit area.  Starting in the Detroit River directly in front of WYC, sailors head out into the middle of Lake St. Clair to complete a 9.5-nautical mile course finishing back at WYC.  The start is always a crowd pleaser.


Registration is now open.

The 48th Annual Chimo Race is open to all boats own by clubs or members of clubs, holding current memberships in the Detroit River Yachting Association (DRYA) and others on the invitation of the WYC.
 
Registration is $30 for all boats except for;  Registrants in the DRYA “Counter” Series, and the WYC Wednesday Night Spring and Fall Series. Refer to  Chimo Race NOR 2.6.
