City moves forward with design plans for the Yacht Club

Cape Coral City Council approved design plans for both the Yacht Club and its pier Wednesday.
The elected board passed a pair of resolutions:
• Resolution 194-24 to authorize preparation of the final design and construction documents for the Yacht Club Community Center at a not to exceed amount of $7,316,186.96.
• Resolution that 224-24 for the final design, construction documents and construction services of the fishing pier at the Yacht Club in a not to exceed amount of $386,161.40.
The ongoing discussion of the city’s decision to rebuild the park by replacing the historic mid-Century “ballroom” with a new resort-style “destination” complex has been fraught with resident protest, including a funeral-style service in advance of the demolition.
The new complex will feature an island-ambiance anchored by a two-story community center and resort style pool as well as related amenities.
All of that was captured into design work with an agreement with Kimley-Horne and Associates, which City Manager Michael Ilczyszyn said is the No. 1 best qualifying firm for community parks.
Ilczyszyn said when the city first started the Yacht Club project, they were primarily dealing with a scope of work that dealt with work at the riverfront beach, the seawall and parking deck.
Then Hurricane Ian swept through the area, and elements were added to the scope of work, as buildings had damage.
“Since then, we had a hurricane,” Ilczyszyn said. “Now we had to deal with the ‘donut hole’ — the center portion never intending to deal with.”
This triggered some substantial improvement requirements including removal of buildings the city had not originally planned to remove.
“We went through a series of public meetings and sessions of council — what the community wanted to see,” he said. “All of that led to the end selection of architectural design.”
Ilczyszyn said Council chose to do a full rebuild of the pier — which includes a design of a new pier that would include such areas as wind loads and static loads. Due to the condition of the pilings, they decided not to move forward with partial opening, he said.

Maverick breaks Race to Mackinac record

- From the Mac Chairman
Posted Jul 14, 2024
CHICAGO, July 14, 2024 – Sanford Burris, William and Ward Kinney’s Maverick team will be etched in Mac Race history as the new race record holder for the fastest Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac presented by Wintrust in 22 years, earning the honor from Roy E. Disney and Pyewacket .
Maverick also claimed this year’s Royono Trophy for the first racing monohull to finish the 115th edition. This year’s southerly winds and overnight storms created the perfect conditions for an incredible downwind race, which they completed in 22 hours, 24 minutes, 23 seconds, breaking Pyewacket’s record by one hour, six minutes, 11 seconds.
“I will tell you from my perspective, I wish the record had lasted longer, but these things are inevitable,” said Roy P. Disney, Roy E. Disney's son, upon hearing the news. “Given how long it took to break that record shows how difficult a course it is, and what a classic sailboat race it is! Many congratulations to the owner, the crew and the boat, Maverick .”
Burris, from Kirtland, Ohio, sails with his sons and many longtime friends on the carbon fiber Andrews 80 they have spent the past three years upgrading. Joining the 20 crew onboard is Evolution Sails founder Rodney Keenan.
The team celebrated briefly as the Maverick team crossed the Race to Mackinac finish line between Mackinac Island and the Round Island lighthouse … and then kept on sailing.
Maverick is one of 25 sailboats competing in this year’s “Super Mac” race, a combination of the Chicago Mackinac and the Bayview Mackinac races, which means they will continue into Lake Huron, heading south to Port Huron for a total of 565 statute miles (495 nautical miles).
What does it take to break the Race to Mackinac record?
Many factors need to align for record-setting conditions, especially over a 333 statute-mile (289 nautical-mile) race that is well known for multiple weather patterns in a short time span. This has earned the race its moniker as “America’s Offshore Challenge.”
“Most important is a southerly wind direction and strength, combined with advancements in boats and sails,” said Winn Soldani, chair for the 115th Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac presented by Wintrust. “Plus you add in last night’s storms that brought increased breeze and it’s literally the perfect setup for a record-breaking year.
“On behalf of the Chicago Yacht Club, we congratulate the Maverick team for an incredible accomplishment.”
This year, the Race put a special emphasis on encouraging and attracting new boats and sailors. Across the 250-strong fleet, 26 new entries (10 percent) and more than 380 sailors (20 percent) are experiencing their first Mac. The Mac Race, known as America’s Offshore Challenge™, begins in front of Chicago’s magnificent skyline and finishes 289 nautical miles (333 statute miles) north on Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, at Michigan’s iconic Mackinac Island.
Next year, the Chicago Yacht Club celebrates its 150-year anniversary.

Chicago to Mackinac sailing race record smashed by more than an hour

MACKINAC ISLAND, MI - Before the first boats ever left Navy Pier this weekend, Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac organizers knew the weather forecast would make this 115th competition one of the faster courses in the race’s history - if the sailing crews could avoid the storms forecast to sweep across Lake Michigan.
And while the storms did send at least three damaged boats limping out of the race and caused a man overboard situation, southerly wind conditions were a boon to the frontrunners, creating a downwind drag race and leading to a record-breaking win that smashed the old Race to Mackinac record by more than an hour.
The Maverick’s crew beat Roy P. Disney’s 22-year-old record with a time of 22 hours, 24 minutes, 23 seconds. This bested the Disney heir’s record set in 2002 with Pyewacket by an hour, six minutes and 11 seconds.
The Maverick team was led by Sanford Burris and William and Ward Kinney. The boat also claimed the race’s Royono Trophy for the first racing monohull to finish the 115th edition.
“I will tell you from my perspective, I wish the record had lasted longer, but these things are inevitable,” said Disney, a well-known figure in the sailing world who is the grand-nephew of Walt Disney. “Given how long it took to break that record shows how difficult a course it is, and what a classic sailboat race it is! Many congratulations to the owner, the crew and the boat, Maverick.”

Nearly 250 boats joined the 333-mile race from Chicago’s Navy Pier to the finish line near Mackinac Island. Known as America’s Offshore Challenge, it’s the world’s longest annual freshwater sailing race. The race is divided into the Cruising Division, which left Chicago on Friday, and the sleeker Racing Division, which began racing on Saturday.
What was the secret to this weekend’s fast times?
“Most important is a southerly wind direction and strength, combined with advancements in boats and sails,” said Winn Soldani, chair for the 115th Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac presented by Wintrust. “Plus you add in last night’s storms that brought increased breeze and it’s literally the perfect setup for a record-breaking year.”
Some of the boats are still finishing the course today. You can see them there on the race tracker.
Maverick’s Sanford Burris is from Kirtland, Ohio. “He sails with his sons and many longtime friends on the carbon fiber Andrews 80 they have spent the past three years upgrading. Joining the 20 crew onboard was Evolution Sails founder Rodney Keenan,” race staff said.
“The team celebrated briefly as the Maverick team crossed the Race to Mackinac finish line between Mackinac Island and the Round Island lighthouse … and then kept on sailing.”
The Maverick is one of a couple dozen sailboats competing in this year’s “Super Mac” race - which means it keeps going instead of stopping at Mackinac Island for the big afterparty. It races south down Lake Huron to reach Port Huron - a race of 495 nautical miles. The Bayview Mackinac Race - which is next week - starts near the Blue Water Bridge and competing sailboats will race north to Mackinac Island. Those boats running the “Super Mac” can also do the Bayview and it’s like running three races in a week’s span.
