On the Watch for Whitehawk

A 105’ ketch has entered the bell’s beer bayview mackinac race and will make the great lakes her unlikely home.

whitehawk yacht

Currently,  Whitehawk  is making her way from Newport, R.I., where for many years she has been a familiar sight among other traditionally designed sailing megayachts, to the Great Lakes where such lines are rarely seen. She was recently bought by Peter Thornton, a Key Largo, Fla. resident who has homes in  Bay Harbor and Detroit, Mich. Among other racing accomplishments, he set the Elapsed Time Monohull Record (Cove Island Course) in the 2017 Bell’s Beer Bayview Mackinac Race with his Volvo 70  Il Mostro , which he has donated to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Sailing Foundation.

“A yacht like  Whitehawk  has never been on the Great Lakes,” said Thornton, shortly after closing his purchase in mid-May, “and my desire is to show her off in Chicago and Detroit for the Mackinac Races. She is a magnificent machine that should be viewed by as many people as possible.”

Whitehawk  left Newport on her own bottom and last week, after reaching the Erie Canal, was preparing to meet a truck delivering her rig in Oswego, N.Y.  After her masts are stepped, she will head for Lake Ontario and up the Detroit River to Lake Huron where she will stop in Bay Harbor to provision before heading to Chicago for the Chicago Mackinac Race and then back to Port Huron for the Bell’s Beer Bayview Mackinac Race.

Thornton, in his late seventies, has competed in at least 28 Bayview Mackinac Races, taking many class victories in go-fast boats like the Santa Cruz 70 he owned for many years. He decided after last year, however, that he was ready to “wind down” his racing career with a kinder, gentler experience that  Whitehawk will offer. First things first: his racing crew and family will have to get used to the yacht’s luxurious accommodations as compared to the stripped- down  Il Mostro . Belowdecks features three oversized staterooms and magnificent appointments, including a ten-sided Mandala skylight, a fireplace, and a head with a teak bathtub.

At the Bell’s Beer Bayview Mackinac Race,  Whitehawk  will sail in Division 1 on the Cove Island course – the longer of the two course options designed for the larger, racier boats entered. “Going from a complete carbon racing machine like  Il Mostro  to a wooden cruising yacht like  Whitehawk  will be quite a transition,” said Thornton, with a grin reflected in his voice. “We’ll be mixed in with boats like the TP52s, and they’ll be running away from us, but that’s okay.”

Sponsors for the 2019 Bell’s Beer Bayview Mackinac Race include  Bell's Brewery ,  Grand Hotel ,  Luca Mariano , Gill ,  Coral Reef Sailing Apparel ,  Tito’s Handmade Vodka ,   Pentastar Aviation ,  North Sails ,  Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry ,  NôMI Sparkling Water ,   Aitken & Ormond Insurance ,  Frankenmuth Insurance , Sharpe Travel Services,  Legal Copy Services , Sykes & Webster - The Burton Families,  Bayview Yacht Club Foundation ,  Detroit Sports Media , and  Marx Layne . Supporters are  Freighter’s Eatery & Tap Room ,  Futuramic Tool and Engineering ,  Harken ,  Pink Pony - Chippewa Hotel  and  Thomas Hardware Company .

Sailors celebrate Race to Mackinac; one of fastest overall races in 115 editions

Other race news.

  • Press Releases
  • From the Mac Chairman

Posted Jul 17, 2024

MACKINAC ISLAND, MICH., July 16, 2024 – With a record-setting pace, storms, dismastings, and a man overboard, the 115th Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac presented by Wintrust had it all. 

Today’s Sailors Celebration awarded 22 section winners across the Mackinac Cup (awarded to the smaller boats), the Mackinac Trophy (larger boats), Doublehanded Division, and Cruising Division (Whitehawk Trophy). Plus a new trophy was awarded – the Mark H. Baxter Trophy, awarded to a first-time boat. Full results are  HERE .

  • Bringing ‘home’ the hardware across the divisions are: 
  • Royono Trophy (first racing monohull to finish): Maverick , Sanford Burris, Ward and William Kinney
  • Whitehawk Trophy (Cruising): Roxy , Don Condit
  • Doublehanded Division: Exile , Andy Graff and Scott Eisenhardt
  • Mackinac Cup: Erica , Brian Kazcor
  • Mackinac Trophy: Natalie J , Philip and Sharon O’Neill III
  • Mark H. Baxter Trophy (awarded to first timers):  Hooligan , Trey Sheehan (Mackinac Trophy); Nyctosaur , Mark Fruin (Mackinac Cup); Seaquel , Thomas Paine (Cruising); 18 Degrees , Joe Turns (Doublehanded).

Maverick, the Andrews 80 co-owned by Sanford Burris, Ward and William Kinney, earned headlines as not only the Royono Trophy winner (first racing monohull to finish), but the new Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac  race record holder , eclipsing Roy E. Disney’s 22-year-old record on Pyewacket. The 20-member crew completed the 333-statute mile (289 nautical-miles) course in 22 hours, 24 minutes, 23 seconds, shaving off more than an hour from Disney’s time of 23 hours, 30 minutes, 24 seconds. 

In one of the fastest races yet, the racing sailboats had all arrived at Mackinac Island by late afternoon Monday. For context, finishers are typically arriving throughout Monday night and into Tuesday. This year, before Monday’s sunset, the Race Committee had fired its last finishing cannon.

This year’s Race wasn’t without its drama. Storms ripped through the fleet on Saturday evening, and wrought havoc with many boats suffering equipment damage.  Three boats lost their masts (all crew safe), and there was a successful man overboard recovery. Full story  HERE .

In recognition of John and Marian Hoskins’ crew on board the Santa Cruz 52 Madcap, which rescued Callisto’s crew who fell overboard during a spinnaker takedown, US Sailing expedited a review and awarded the Madcap crew the Arthur B. Hanson rescue medal for outstanding seamanship, watchkeeping and situational awareness resulting in the rescue of a fellow sailor.

“What a race,” said Winn Soldani, chair of the 115th Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac presented by Wintrust. “With 10 percent of the fleet and 20 percent of the sailors doing their first Mac, we’re not going to tell them it isn’t always like this,” he said with a smile. 

“In all seriousness though, this Race has been one for the books – such incredible record-breaking downwind conditions, and what I believe truly sets this special race apart – the camaraderie of our sailors, the team at Chicago Yacht Club and on Mackinac Island. The Mac really is America’s Offshore Challenge and I congratulate every sailor, supporter and follower for joining us on this epic adventure this year.”

2025 marks the 150th anniversary of the Chicago Yacht Club, and Soldani and the Chicago Yacht Club are already planning incredible things for the 116th edition of the Race to Mackinac. 2025 race begins July 19, 2025.

Bruce King WHITEHAWK

whitehawk yacht

Sail Number: 22261

Whitehawk Specifications:

LOA: 105′ / 32.00m – LOD: 92′ / 28.04m – WL: 78′ / 23.77m – BEAM: 20′ 6″ / 6.24m – DRAFT: 7′ 6″ / 2.28m – Daggerboard: 16’10” / 5.13m – Displacement: 84 Tons – Hull: Wood (Cold-Molded) – Design By: Bruce King – Built by: Lee’s Boat Shop of Rockland Maine – Year built: 1975-1978 – Original Owner: – Current Owner: Peter Thornton, Burr Ridge, IL, Key Largo, Fla – Sail Area: 4,484 – Official Number: 591561 – Location: Marine Traffic

Styled after the famous Herreshoff racing vessel Ticonderoga, the 105’ Whitehawk was designed by renowned Maine yacht designer Bruce King and commissioned in 1978. At the time of her build she was the largest ever yacht built using the Wood Epoxy Saturation Technique (WEST SYSTEM), which insures superior strength along with incredible lightness. Whitehawk’s performance capabilities along with her state-of-the-art technology and magnificent appointments make her the ideal vacation vessel for New England summers and Caribbean winters.

The main salon exudes the warmth of a comfortably elegant living room, with separate sitting and dining areas, a cathedral skylight, and a full sized wood-burning fireplace. The ambience is embellished with polished wood architectural features crafted from the highest quality mahogany, teak, and cedar. Beveled mirrors, leaded glass cabinets, and an Italian marble countertop distinguish the unique bar area.

A modern entertainment center, complete with a color television, VCR, and stereo system with CD player, balances the old-world charm with modern-day sophistication.

Whitehawk’s full array of electronics, including two radars, two GPS installations, a Loran, weatherfax, SSB radio and sophisticated sailing computers and plotters, assures safe navigation on every voyage. The large galley, with every convenience for preparing international gourmet cuisine, features an oven/broiler, microwave, large refrigerator and freezer, dishwasher, trash compactor, and ice maker.

Her three air-conditioned double staterooms each have a private bath, with the master stateroom featuring a queen-sized bed and a stunning bathtub carved out of Maine cedar.

whitehawk2

With a crew of five to expertly attend a charter group’s every need, Whitehawk comfortably accommodates up to six overnight guests and up to 25 for day sails and social gatherings.

Above deck, more spectacular woodwork is accented with extensive custom-designed fittings. A hand-carved teak wheel and beautiful binnacle with 12″ Constellation compass are from an era gone by. Beneath the stars or under the sun, an oversized teak table gleams in the cockpit, inviting twelve to dine. Yet for all her traditional styling, luxurious accommodations, and modern technological conveniences, Whitehawk is even more. She is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The experience of taking the powerful wheel or hoisting the massive mainsail. The experience of gliding effortlessly over pristine waters that once were the settings only for indulgent dreams. The experience of snorkeling, windsurfing or water skiing in a cool, blue lagoon while Whitehawk, the masterpiece of majestic proportion, rests peacefully, awaiting her next chance to thrill her guests under sail.
