Setting sail in Chicago

June 12, 2011 (CHICAGO)

This is the sixth stop of its eight-city tour. Nearly 1,000 sailors will hit the waters of Lake Michigan, just offshore from the Chicago Yacht Club. They contend for the event's top prize, a trip to the British Virgin Islands to compete in the Sperry Top-Sider NOOD Championships.

Michael Lovett, editor of Sailing World magazine, joined us live from the Chicago Yacht Club during our ABC7 newscast, to talk about the event.
