Over 200 boats will set sail from Milwaukee to South Haven tomorrow night at 7 p.m. The 77th annual Queen’s Cup Race is returning to South Haven for just the second time in its history. Officials with Milwaukee’s South Shore Yacht Club say there will be crews of over 1,200 people on board for the 76 nautical mile race to the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. The actual Queen’s Cup trophy dates to 1847 and was deeded to the South Shore Yacht Club in 1938 for an annual race across Lake Michigan, “open to all yachts of a recognized yacht club on the Great Lakes.” Events connected to the race are being held through Saturday night in South Haven.
