“Sheboygan offers a unique venue for the World Championship – the first fresh water venue to host the Women’s Match Racing World Championship. Although it is ‘lake sailing’ Lake Michigan is the size of many seas and when the wind whips up the waves can get big and the conditions challenging,” noted 2002 World Champion Liz Baylis.

Details on the WIM Series can be found on their website; this is a big event for Sheboygan sailing!

While in Sheboygan, check out the beautiful harbor, the riverfront, downtown, and more. I-43 and Highways 23, 28, and 42 all bring you to Sheboygan. There’s a lot of fun to be had, especially if you like sailing!
