CHICAGO SAILING CLUB

At 22,394 square miles, sparkling Lake Michigan is one of the largest bodies of fresh water in the world. For hundreds of years, this lake has been a crucial conduit of trade, first among the Native peoples who inhabited the area, and more recently by large freight companies towing cargo to and from the major metropolitan areas dotting the coastline. Lake Michigan is also known for its wonderful recreational opportunities, which include yachting, kayaking, diving, kitesurfing, shoreline camping, and of course, sailing.
