 3.      The Saginaw Bay course starts west of the breakwater off Caseville, passes east of the lower Lake Huron weather buoy, and finishes in Rogers City.

  The Port Huron Yacht Club and Huron Yacht Club will host the respective starting fleets, with Rogers City hosting the finishing yachts.     The entry fee for US Sailing members is $170 for DSA and GLSS members, and $200 for all others.
