Marine News from the Great Lakes

South shore yacht club’s 80th queen’s cup: a proud heritage.

Published: Thursday, June 7, 2018

This annual race across Lake Michigan always starts off at South Shore Yacht Club in Milwaukee, WI, and crosses the Lake to various harbors in Michigan as the ending point. For an in-depth look at the history, click  http://ssyc.org/queens-cup/qchistory

Range of Boats & Crew

The 80th running of the Queen's Cup is open to all yachts of recognized yacht clubs. This overnight race across Lake Michigan can be a sprint or a marathon, whether sailing the latest high tech TP52 or a classic cruising boat. We've seen winds that bring both downwind runs and upwind battles, as Lake Michigan serves up conditions of all kinds with races times of 8 hours (less for the biggest yachts); to 26 hours or more.

Scoring is both PHRF and ORR, with section splits from 1 - 10 depending upon the number of entrants. Additional sections are one design with previous years seeing J/111, 40.7, multi-hulls and a short-handed section.

This race is inclusive, from smaller boats to bigger boats, and crews from 12 or more, down to the occasional solo racer. Most of the crew are “regular” crew members coming from years of sailing together; family, friends - it’s about building a team. There’s an obvious love of water and sailing… the challenge of crossing the lake, the competition, and a chance to win the coveted Queen’s Cup with the boat name engraved on the trophy.

South Shore Yacht Club Queen's Cup Events are Packed Full

Then, mark your calendar, next comes Friday, June 22 nd , the “Big Race Day.” After checking weather briefings, the start warnings sound; first, the cruising fleet at mid-afternoon, followed by the short-handed fleet, and lastly, the fully-crewed fleets. Racing off in early evening, boats most likely will arrive early in the dawn hours. This iconic race is always a favorite, well attended, and challenging.

Ugandan Olympic athlete dies after being set on fire by her partner

Ugandan Olympic athlete Rebecca Cheptegei has died at a Kenyan hospital where she was being treated after 80% of her body was burned in an attack by her partner. She was 33.

NAIROBI, Kenya — Ugandan Olympic athlete Rebecca Cheptegei has died at a Kenyan hospital where she was being treated after 80% of her body was burned in an attack by her partner. She was 33.

Kenya's sports minister said authorities must do more to combat gender-based violence.

A spokesperson at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret city, Owen Menach, confirmed Cheptegei's death on Thursday. Menach said the long-distance runner died early in the morning after her organs failed. She had been fully sedated on admission at the hospital.

Cheptegei competed in the women's marathon at the Paris Olympics less than a month before the attack. She finished in 44th place.

Her father, Joseph Cheptegei, told journalists at the hospital that he had lost a daughter who was "very supportive" and said he hoped to get justice.

"As it is now, the criminal who harmed my daughter is a murderer and I am yet to see what the security officials are doing," the father said. "He is still free and might even flee."

Trans Nzoia County Police Commander Jeremiah ole Kosiom said Monday that Cheptegei's partner, Dickson Ndiema, bought a can of gasoline, poured it on her and set her ablaze during a disagreement Sunday. Ndiema was also burned and was being treated at the same hospital.

Menach said Ndiema was still in the intensive care unit with burns over 30% of his body but was "improving and stable."

Cheptegei's parents said their daughter bought land in Trans Nzoia to be near Kenya's many athletic training centers. A report filed by the local chief said Cheptegei and Ndiema were heard fighting before the attack over the land where her house was built.

The Uganda Athletics Federation eulogized Cheptegei on the social platform X, writing, "We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our athlete, Rebecca Cheptegei, early this morning who tragically fell victim to domestic violence. As a federation, we condemn such acts and call for justice. May her soul rest In Peace."

Uganda Olympic Committee President Donald Rukare called the attack "a cowardly and senseless act that has led to the loss of a great athlete."

Kenya's Sports Minister Kipchumba Murkomen said the government would ensure justice for the victim.

"This tragedy is a stark reminder that we must do more to combat gender-based violence in our society, which in recent years has reared its ugly head in elite sporting circles," he wrote in a statement.

Uganda's First Lady Janet Museveni said that Cheptegei's death due to domestic violence was "deeply disturbing."

International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said, "Rebecca's participation in the Paris 2024 women's marathon was a source of inspiration, pride and joy."

In 2023, Ugandan Olympic runner and steeplechaser Benjamin Kiplagat was found dead with stab wounds. In 2022, Kenyan-born Bahraini athlete Damaris Muthee was found dead and a postmortem report stated that she was strangled. In 2021, long-distance runner Agnes Tirop was stabbed to death at her home. Her husband, Ibrahim Rotich, was arrested and charged with murder, the case is ongoing.

Kenya's very high rates of violence against women have prompted marches by ordinary citizens in towns and cities this year.

Four in 10 women or an estimated 41% of dating or married Kenyan women have experienced physical or sexual violence perpetrated by their current or most recent partner, according to the Kenya Demographic and Health Survey 2022.
