Strictly Sail this Weekend in Chicago!


Strictly Sail will be hosting the Midwest's premier sailboat show this weekend in Chicago, Illinois at the world famous Navy Pier. Representatives from all the major manufacturers, sail makers, marine facilities and yachting magazines will be in attendance.
This show will mark the publication launch of Riblets, Plastic and a Frontrudder. The exciting new book by Mark Reid on the 1987 America's Cup.
Mr. Reid's commentary on the events leading up to Dennis Conner regaining the most prized trophy in all of sports and returning it back to America is the most comprehensive narrative on the events leading up to racing in Fremantle, Western Australia ever published.
12-Meter Update covered that America's Cup with complete details on all the challengers and defenders that went downunder. Specifically, the book covers the challenges from the Heart of America, representing the Chicago Yacht Club, the New York Yacht Club's America 2 and the Golden Gate Challenge's USA from the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco where Mr Reid spent 2 years covering events there.
