21st North American Challenge Cup

Issue date

You’re invited to the 21st North American Challenge Cup (NACC), July 26-July 29, 2013 in Chicago, IL.

  • There are three classes (Freedom, Sonar and 2.4mR) of exceptionally maintained boats available, and again this year there is no charge for the use of the boats.
  • US Sailing Paralympic Coach Betsy Alison will be on hand for the Race Clinic and the lead coach for the regatta.
  • There will be excellent race management, thanks to the sponsoring yacht club, Chicago Yacht Club.
  • This year, exclusive arrangements (with special prices) have been made with three brand new hotels (one of them is a Hyatt) that are next to each other, sharing a common lobby and serving free breakfast.  The hotels are conveniently located in the heart of Chicago’s nightlife.
  • As always, there will be complimentary transportation to and from the airport and during the entire event.
  • You’ll be a guest at the 23rd Annual Judd Goldman Adaptive Sailing Foundation Benefit with Paralympic silver medalist, Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year and author Jen French as speaker.  Throughout the weekend, you’ll enjoy complimentary food (including a barbecue and awards dinner).
  • And you can take advantage of the entertainment, sports and restaurant benefits of what a great city Chicago can offer.

For the 21th year, American Airlines, a founding sponsor of the regatta, is offering free travel vouchers for the event.  The travel vouchers are awarded on a first come, first serve basis.  Once you register, contact Jennifer Wohlberg jwohlberg11@yahoo.com and she’ll get started finding flights for you!  Remember, the earlier you register, the more likely you'll get the best flights to Chicago.


Don’t miss the fun and camaraderie of one of the oldest and best run disabled sailing regattas in the world, on the shores of fresh water Lake Michigan.
