Bayview Yacht Club Unveils Plans for 100th Bayview Mackinac Race

Bayview Yacht Club in Detroit has unveiled its plans for the 100 th running of the Bayview Mackinac race next July and announced that registration is open for the event.

“As you can imagine with this being such a significant event, we are witnessing an extraordinary level of interest and enthusiasm for the 100th Bayview Mackinac Race,” says Charlie Trost, chair of the 2024 Bayview Mackinac Race. “Sailors, both seasoned veterans and newcomers alike, are gearing up to be part of this historic occasion. The race is not only a test of skill, but also a celebration of the enduring spirit of adventure and competition.”

In conjunction with the opening of registration, National Fleet Services was announced as the presenting sponsor for the 100th running of the race, which will begin at approximately 10:30 a.m. on July 20, 2024.

“We are excited to have National Fleet Services and previous Bayview Yacht Club Commodore Tim LaRiviere as our new presenting sponsor,” says Mike Helm, 2024 commodore of the Bayview Yacht Club. “A longtime sailor, Tim shares the same passion for the race as every competitor taking part in the 2024 event.

“With their sponsorship, we will be able to improve various aspects of the event, including safety measures, race logistics and participant amenities. This partnership will not only benefit the competitors, but also help make the race more appealing to sailing enthusiasts and fans.”

According to LaRiviere, founder, president, and CEO of National Fleet Services: “Our goal in becoming the presenting sponsor of the 100th Bayview Mackinac Race is to help make it a memorable experience for all involved. There is a strong bond between the sailing community and those who are passionate about its growth and success. We look forward to a bright future for the race and sailing growth in new and existing audiences.”

For the 100th race, all competitors will sail on the 1925 Original Course, used during the first race. The course covers 204 nautical miles (235 statute miles). From its traditional start in southern Lake Huron, the fleet will head north on one course along the Michigan shoreline before heading west, passing south of Bois Blanc Island, finishing west to east at the finish line between Round Island and Mackinac Island. (The original course started three nautical miles south of the current one, off Lake Side Park, Gratiot Beach. As the race gained in participants, the starting line was moved to its current location to accommodate the required starting line length and sufficient depth over its entire length.)

The logo for the 100th Bayview Mackinac Race is shaped like the Bayview Mackinac Race plaque that originated with the inaugural race in 1925. The colors mirror those in the Bayview Yacht Club burgee, while the gold outline represents the 100 years of the race. The 100 in infinity represents that the race has been continuously run for 100 years and will continue indefinitely.

Northwestern Mutual’s Black Founder Accelerator Program Marks Third Year

Furthering its commitment to championing diversity, equity, and inclusion, Northwestern Mutual, in partnership with gener8tor, a nationally ranked startup accelerator, announced this year’s fall cohort of five Black-owned tech startups to its Black Founder Accelerator program, which includes a company in Detroit.

Research shows that Black founders receive less than 2 percent of venture capital. To combat this substantial funding disparity for Black entrepreneurs, each startup is eligible for a $100,000 investment and inclusion in a 12-week intensive program with access to individualized coaching and mentorship from industry-leading professionals.

This is one of many core components to the company’s Sustained Action for Racial Equity (SARE) initiative, which was created to advance bold, sustainable change that accelerates Northwestern Mutual’s commitment to fight racism, prejudice, and social injustice, with a focus on the Black and African American community.

Ashton Keys, founder and CEO of athlytic.io, is the company in Detroit among this year’s cohort.

Athlytic bridges the gap between brands and student-athletes by providing a “seamless connection for name, image, and likeness campaigns through use of data-driven insights and expert recommendations” to pair brands with the perfect athletes for ROI-driven endorsement campaigns.

In addition to the Black Founder Accelerator program, Northwestern Mutual also committed to a $100-million impact investing fund to deliver on the company’s commitment to addressing inequality and the racial wealth gap in the U.S. The fund focuses on three key areas: physical and social infrastructure, access to capital for individuals and businesses, and healthy sustainable neighborhoods and communities.

Precision Metalforming Association to Host West Michigan Supplier Event

The Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) West Michigan District in Grand Rapids will host its seventh annual supplier event on Nov. 2, at The Pinnacle Center in Hudsonville, just west of Grand Rapids.

Top metalforming industry suppliers will showcase their capabilities and latest technologies to local manufacturers at the Suppliers EXPO.

Previously called Suppliers Night and recently rebranded as the West Michigan Suppliers EXPO, the event will feature new show hours, from 11-4 p.m.

More than 200 suppliers and manufacturers are expected to attend. Participants will be offered a lunch buffet, beverages, and raffle prize giveaways while making connections, networking, and finding resources within the west Michigan manufacturing community.

Lawrence Tech Preparing for 2024 Robofest

With the future of mobility leaning toward autonomous vehicles, Robofest 2024 at Lawrence Technological University in Southfield will focus on vehicle autonomy.

This year’s game is called “Autonomous Taxi,” during which a robot “taxi” will pick up “passengers” (golf balls) at one end of a table and take them to destinations, boxes placed around the table, maneuvering around “pedestrians,” D-size batteries. One of the passengers must be placed on the “second floor” of a destination box. Simple bar codes will be used to identify the destinations.

Now in its 25th season, Robofest is a festival of competitions with autonomous robots offering students the opportunity to master the principles of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics) and have fun. More than 34,600 students from 34 countries and 18 U.S. states have participated since 1999.

Robofest robots must be completely autonomous, controlled only by software. The registration fee is $75 and any small robot platform and programming language are allowed. (Robot kits for Robofest, from LEGO and other manufacturers, start at about $400.) Teams compete in Junior (grades 5-8) and Senior (grades 9-12) divisions.

This year, for the first time, Robofest teams are eligible for Michigan Department of Education robotics competition grants of up to $1,200 per team. A Robofest sponsor, the Michigan Council of Women in Technology, also offer grants of $750 for all-girl teams.

All Robofest competitors automatically qualify for a $3,000-a-year Lawrence Tech scholarship. Winning teams are eligible for a $17,000-a-year LTU scholarship.

Registration is now open for Robofest teams. International competitions begin in November, with U.S. competitions starting in February and concluding in April. Teams that place high in regional competitions qualify for the Robofest World Championships, to be conducted on the LTU campus in Southfield May 9-11.

There also will be workshops for coaches and competitors over the winter. And Robofest is always looking for local volunteer host sites for its regional qualifying competitions.

John Dempsey Exhibit Opening at The Flint Institute of Arts Oct. 14

The Flint Institute of Arts is presenting “Fabrication in Transit,” a new exhibition opening Oct. 14 and on view through Jan. 7 in the FIA Graphics Gallery. This collection features works on paper by Michigan-native John Dempsey that celebrate and chronicle our shared industrial environments.

The exhibition consists of work in a variety of media, from a series of ink drawings dating from the early 1980s, to an extended series of more recent watercolors, as well as mixed-media work fabricated in Mott Community College’s FabLab.

“The artworks in this exhibition are landscapes of Michigan’s industrial past and present,” says Rachael Holstege, associate curator at the FIA. “They exemplify the industry that built this state and the presence it still has in our daily lives. The FIA is excited to have artworks on view that so many people within our community will be able to connect to.”

The FIA will welcome Dempsey in person for an Artist Talk Q&A at 6 p.m. Nov. 9 in the FIA Theater. Here the artist will discuss the works in his exhibition, followed by a Q&A with the audience. This event is free and open to the public. Guests may email [email protected] to submit questions for the Q&A.

On Nov. 10, Dempsey invites community members to share short personal accounts and memories about their experience working in the ‘shop’ at Buick City or AC/Delco in Flint. This Let’s Talk Shop event will take place during Art Walk at Factory Two (129 N Grand Traverse St.), Flint’s Makers Space and former factory of the Dort Motor Car Co. This event is free and open to the public.

Sailing is the focus at Bayview Yacht Club

The reason sailors join Bayview Yacht Club differs for each member.

For some its the camaraderie, for others it may be the restaurant or its location on the banks of the Detroit River. Most agree, though, that it's the club's rigorous focus on sailing that sets Bayview apart from other clubs.

For Lynn Kotwicki, it was the club's legacy of racing champions.

"I knew the history, I knew the reputation. I knew the America's Cup sailors and sailors across a number of classes that were members," says Kotwicki of Royal Oak, who became a member in the early 2000s. A competitive sailor, she grew up around powerboats, but focused on sailing around age 10.

Kotwicki developed the yearly Women on Water regatta at Bayview in an effort to draw more women to the sport. She says Bayview is known globally because members like herself travel the world's waterways leaving behind the club's flag, known as a burgee.

"When I compete, whether it's in Portugal, Brazil or Sweden, or wherever, I always take the burgee and leave it there at that club. It's one of those things that ties you to home, but then again it makes notoriety for the club around the world, as well."

This year, Bayview celebrates 100 years in Detroit. The six-acre club at 100 Clairpointe, off East Jefferson, offers members access to boat wells, banquet facilities, a bar and restaurant and plenty of social activities. For all the stereotypes that may be associated with yacht clubs — exclusivity, old money, polo shirts — Commodore Hanson Bratton says Bayview aims to be inclusive and welcomes anyone interested in the sport of sailing.

"Bayview, as far as private clubs go, has a pretty narrow focus in terms of sailing," says Bratton, who will serve as commodore for one year, per tradition. "We don't have a lot of powerboats here ... we don't have a swimming pool, we don't have racquet courts and all that, so a lot of it is truly focused on sailing."

Bayview hosts regattas regularly. Besides a Thursday night series, the annual Summer Match Racing Invitational will take place this weekend, and, later this summer, the yacht club will host the Detroit Cup Aug. 27-30. The international sailing competition — which partners with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Detroit — is spectator-friendly and has onsite commentary to add to the excitement of competition.

Bayview is best known for creating the annual Port Huron to Mackinac Boat Race, which began in 1925. Frank Kern, a member since 1996, has collected extensive history on the race. Kern says when Bayview opened, there were only six members. Today there are around 1,000.

"Bayview started 100 years ago in 1915 and it was literally a fishing shack on motor boat row, which today is the boat basin owned by Gregory Marina (two miles west of Bayview)," Kern says.

One of the most popular aspects of Bayview in terms of boating is the adult and youth sailing programs, where people of almost any age can learn the basics of the sport. The Junior Sailing Program is open to youths ages 8-18 and offers a two-week "Learn to Sail" program ($450) or a summer-long program ($1,150).

Sailors are not required to be members of BYC, nor do they need to own a boat; they just need some close-toed shoes, a life vest and sun block.

Jessica Dodge of Grosse Pointe Park started her fourth summer in the sailing class last week.

"When I came in, I didn't even like sailing, but I love it so much now," says Dodge, who will be a freshman at Grosse Pointe South High School after her summer on the water. "The community is so nice and everyone is really helpful. I've learned so much about sailing. They teach you everything."

"And it's not just sailing; we play games and you make a lot of friends."

The final youth sailing class begins Monday, adult classes are under way, and a second wave of the program starts in mid-July.

Bridget Nutter joined Bayview as a junior member of the sailing program in 1997. She said Bayview offers a great way to make lifelong connections.

"I grew up in the junior sailing program and I was lucky enough to meet a lot of people who are still some of my closest friends today," says Nutter of Grosse Pointe Park.

"We've always been a club that prioritizes racing over anything else, although the social aspect is a close second. You can walk into the bar almost any time and see someone dressed up for work talking to another member covered in paint, and they're both equally at home because the love of the sport is what brought them in the door."

In addition to beginning sailors, Bayview also is home to champions, as demonstrated by the many shelves stocked with trophies throughout the club. Bayview even supports Olympic sailors. Two Olympic sailing teams — Bora Gulari and Solvig Sayre, and Alex Hume and Matt Graham — are working with the club to compete in the 2016 summer games.

Bratton stresses that while it can be costly to maintain and house a big boat, sailing can be for people in all economic situations.

"People think that it's a rich man's sport. The fact of the matter is that there are people that have money here and lot of what happens requires that financial support — owning a big boat — but people that don't have a lot of money also are very much welcome here and are needed to support sailing," Bratton says.

"All these boats need people to crew, and everybody here is willing to take on somebody and teach them what to do, and not even in the adult sailing program, just one of the regular boats that go out, we'll take them out and teach them how to sail and see if they're interested in it. Eventually, if they think they can become members, they do, but there's no obligation to become a member."

“As you can imagine with this being such a significant event, we are witnessing an extraordinary level of interest and enthusiasm for the 100th Bayview Mackinac Race,” says Charlie Trost, 2024 Bayview Mackinac Race chair. “Sailors, both seasoned veterans and newcomers alike, are gearing up to be part of this historic occasion. The race is not only a test of skill, but also a celebration of the enduring spirit of adventure and competition.”

National Fleet Services, the preferred labor source for post-production vehicle customization services for North American fleets, will be the presenting sponsor for the 100th running of the Bayview Mackinac Race, set to start Saturday, July 20, 2024 at 10:30 a.m. eastern time.

“Our goal in becoming the presenting sponsor of the 100th Bayview Mackinac Race is to help make it a memorable experience for all involved. There is a strong bond between the sailing community and those who are passionate about its growth and success. We look forward to a bright future for the race and sailing growth in new and existing audiences,” says Tim LaRiviere, founder, president & CEO of National Fleet Services.

Competitors will sail on the 1925 Original Course covering 204 nautical miles, used during the first BYCMACK. From its traditional start in Southern Lake Huron, the fleet will head north on one course along the Michigan shoreline before heading west, passing south of Bois Blanc Island, finishing west to east at the finish line between Round Island and Mackinac Island. “The decision to return to the original course for the 100th race adds a unique historical dimension to an already prestigious event, promising an unforgettable experience for participants and fans alike. Bayview Yacht Club has worked very hard behind the scenes to ensure we have a competitive, fair, and fun race for all the competitors,” adds Trost.

The logo for the 100th Bayview Mackinac Race is shaped like the Bayview Mackinac Race plaque that originated with the inaugural race in 1925 and the colors mirror those in the Bayview Yacht Club burgee, while the gold outline represents the 100 years of the race. The 100 in infinity represents that the race has been continuously run for 100 years and will continue indefinitely. “For the 100th race, we knew the logo had to be special, representing the history and tradition of the race and the club, while looking toward the future,” says Trost.
