2011 Bayview-Mackinac Race
Congratulations to our customers for a terrific 2011 Bayview Mackinac Race! There were 20 classes and 60 flags awarded at this year's race. For the 18th year in a row, our customers captured more than 50% of the available flags. In 2011, 58% of flag award winners were Doyle Customers! Thank you to all of our customers for pounding the competition.
Some of the highlights include:
- Top three boats in a very competitive Beneteau 36.7 Class
- Top three boats in the J/120 Class
- Top GL 70
- Second through sixteenth overall in the Cruising division. It is becoming very apparent that it is almost impossible to win this race without a Doyle Asymmetrical Runner.
