MUSKEGON, Mich. — A sailing race with an 82 year-long history will end in Muskegon. The Queen's Cup will take place in Lake Michigan again after a seven year break.
It is hosted by South Shore Yacht Club in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and sailors race their way across Lake Michigan to the Muskegon port on Friday, June 25.
