National Sailing Hall of Fame comes to Detroit

September 27 2014 | 11:00am to 1:30pm

On Sunday, September 28, the Detroit Yacht Club will be the center of the sailing world in the United States. In conjunction with Bayview Yacht Club and the Detroit Regional Yacht-racing Association, the DYC will host the 2014 Induction Ceremony for the National Sailing Hall of Fame in Annapolis, Maryland. Notable names on the dais will include Jobson, Harken, Bowditch and Herreshoff.

To recognize the occasion, and Detroit’s rich sailing heritage, the Dossin Great Lakes Museum will show racing films continuously throughout their open hours on Saturday, September 27 and Sunday, September 28. These videos, from the collection of the NSHOF, feature spectacular footage from this fun, fast and fascinating sport.
