On the Watch for Whitehawk

A 105’ ketch has entered the bell’s beer bayview mackinac race and will make the great lakes her unlikely home.

Currently,  Whitehawk  is making her way from Newport, R.I., where for many years she has been a familiar sight among other traditionally designed sailing megayachts, to the Great Lakes where such lines are rarely seen. She was recently bought by Peter Thornton, a Key Largo, Fla. resident who has homes in  Bay Harbor and Detroit, Mich. Among other racing accomplishments, he set the Elapsed Time Monohull Record (Cove Island Course) in the 2017 Bell’s Beer Bayview Mackinac Race with his Volvo 70  Il Mostro , which he has donated to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Sailing Foundation.

“A yacht like  Whitehawk  has never been on the Great Lakes,” said Thornton, shortly after closing his purchase in mid-May, “and my desire is to show her off in Chicago and Detroit for the Mackinac Races. She is a magnificent machine that should be viewed by as many people as possible.”

Whitehawk  left Newport on her own bottom and last week, after reaching the Erie Canal, was preparing to meet a truck delivering her rig in Oswego, N.Y.  After her masts are stepped, she will head for Lake Ontario and up the Detroit River to Lake Huron where she will stop in Bay Harbor to provision before heading to Chicago for the Chicago Mackinac Race and then back to Port Huron for the Bell’s Beer Bayview Mackinac Race.

Thornton, in his late seventies, has competed in at least 28 Bayview Mackinac Races, taking many class victories in go-fast boats like the Santa Cruz 70 he owned for many years. He decided after last year, however, that he was ready to “wind down” his racing career with a kinder, gentler experience that  Whitehawk will offer. First things first: his racing crew and family will have to get used to the yacht’s luxurious accommodations as compared to the stripped- down  Il Mostro . Belowdecks features three oversized staterooms and magnificent appointments, including a ten-sided Mandala skylight, a fireplace, and a head with a teak bathtub.

At the Bell’s Beer Bayview Mackinac Race,  Whitehawk  will sail in Division 1 on the Cove Island course – the longer of the two course options designed for the larger, racier boats entered. “Going from a complete carbon racing machine like  Il Mostro  to a wooden cruising yacht like  Whitehawk  will be quite a transition,” said Thornton, with a grin reflected in his voice. “We’ll be mixed in with boats like the TP52s, and they’ll be running away from us, but that’s okay.”

Yacht Specs

From plastic to classic

W hat do you do when you no longer have your Volvo 70 Il Mostro to race the Mackinac races on? If you’re Peter Thorton, you buy a 105-foot classic ketch and bring it to the Great Lakes. 

Built in 1978 in Rockland, Maine, the clipper-bowed Bruce King-designed Whitehawk was patterned after the famous 1936 Herreshoff-designed racing yacht Ticonderoga and is one of the largest cold-molded wooden boats. 

Whitehawk made her way from her home port of Newport, Rhode Island, where she was a popular participant in the East Coast classic regattas. 

“A yacht like Whitehawk has never been on the Great Lakes,” said Thornton, a Key Largo, Florida resident who has homes in Bay Harbor and Detroit, Michigan. “My desire is to show her off in Chicago and Detroit for the Mackinac Races. She is a magnificent machine that should be viewed by as many people as possible.”

Thornton set the Bayview Mackinac Race record in 2017 with his Volvo 70 Il Mostro , which he recently donated to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Sailing Foundation.

Thornton, in his late 70s, has long competed in the Mac races with boats such as his Santa Cruz 70 Holua . He said he decided last year to wind down his racing career with a kinder, gentler experience aboard Whitehawk . The boat will be quite a change from the carbon fiber Il Mostro with her three oversized staterooms and traditional features, including a 10-sided Mandala skylight, a fireplace and a head with a teak bathtub.

Whitehawk left Newport on her own bottom, and after reaching the Erie Canal, met a truck delivering her rig to Oswego, New York. After her masts were to be stepped, she was to head to Lake Ontario and up the Detroit River through Lake Huron to Chicago for the Chicago-Mackinac Race and then back to Port Huron for the Bell’s Beer Bayview Mackinac Race in July.

 “Going from a complete carbon racing machine like Il Mostro to a wooden cruising yacht like Whitehawk will be quite a transition,” Thornton said. “We’ll be mixed in with boats like the TP52s, and they’ll be running away from us, but that’s okay.”

Whitehawk Wins Royono Trophy – 113th Chicago Mac Race

Congratulations to peter thornton and his 104-foot ketch, whitehawk, for winning the royono trophy as the first monohull boat to finish the 113th chicago yacht club race to mackinac presented by wintrust..

Sport News Now (July 28, 2022) – Pulling into the harbor at Mackinac Island Sunday, July 24th at 5:04 a.m., Helmsman Greg Fordon docked Whitehawk and a crew of 14 went below deck to toast their first-to-finish of 31 boats in the Cruising Division in the 113th Chicago Mac Race. They were ninth on corrected time at 2:05:41:04.

Sending out emails and making a few calls, owner Peter Thornton assembled a skilled squad who had been with him for a few Macs. Antonio Cuervas mons flew in from Spain, Willie Lynch, Peter Eagan and Lat Spinney are from Rhode Island, Deane Tank from western South Carolina, Bogdan Ogorek, Fordon and Gary Murino are from Chicago, Tom Murray, suburban Chicago, Tom Cote, Harbor Springs, Mich., Chris Thornton and his son, Jack, reside in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.

Leaving the starting line Friday, July 22 in front of Navy Pier at 3:00 p.m., the 104-foot ketch set a swift pace propelling them a few minutes in front of several severe storms.

“We knew there were two thunderheads we had to get out in front of,” said Thornton, 82, who has done over 30s Macs. Built in 1978, he bought Whitehawk in 2019.”

“That’s the trick to this thing, staying ahead of the storm. By the time we got to Milwaukee Friday night, it was brutal. Lightning strikes lit up the sky from 11 p.m. -midnight. It was raining hard, there was hail and 30-knot winds. We saw the next one coming from Minnesota. We got in front of that by the skin of our teeth. Roxy followed us all the way up. We were 1.5 knot faster than them; they were about 10 -15 mile behind us and got slammed. We saw 20 knots plus breezes.”

Friday around 9:30 p.m., the A1 spinnaker got caught on the bowsprit and ripped down the middle. “Our crew did a spectacular job,” said Thornton. “We had to improvise all the way.”

Heading east of the rhumb line going 10 knots, Whitehawk rode 20-mph winds Saturday afternoon and made the right call to stay a few miles from the Michigan shoreline near South Manitou Island. When the storm hit from 9:30 p.m. to midnight, they were doing 15-knots.

We were just over the top of the storm,” said Thornton. “The other boats were getting pasted. We saw the thermals building and getting darker. We needed to get closer to shore.”

Peter’s son, Chris Thornton credited the crew.

“Looking at the radar, there was a red blog,” said Chris, who drove half of the course. “The lake was a mess. It was 12-13 from the southwest and then minutes later, it’s 25-30. Near Beaver Island, the north end of the storm clipped us. The breeze came up so quickly around Petoskey. We were able to get the kite down. We put it back up before Grays Reef. Down The Straits, it was sailing angles and gybing in moderate winds. We got under the bridge and the sun was coming up on the northern horizon. At the dock, the sun was up and nobody was there.”

Whitehawk offers the best of everything. While the Cruising Division is competitive, it’s a placid journey compared to Thornton’s Il Mostro, a Volvo Ocean 70.

“The boat is really stable and quiet, it’s really a comforting feeling and inspires confidence,” said Chris. “When you’re down below, you don’t feel like you’re on a boat. We sail hard, but it’s a different approach. We had great meals at night with some wine and then ice cream bars. It’s a civilized, enjoyable sail.”

Jack Thornton, 23, sized up his sixth Mac.

“It’s always great being on the boat with my dad and grandfather,” he said. “This was one of the warmer Macs I’ve been on. It’s nice being out in the fresh air. When you’re not on watch, the boat’s big enough where you can be on deck and lay back on one of the sail bags. Saturday night, there was a nice orange sky. After the rain, there was a rainbow on the starboard side. Everyone was taking pictures, then the wind picked back up. Our crew never butted heads on anything.”

Peter Thornton’s first Mac was in 1974 when Gene McCarthy and two others charted a C&C 39. Calling McCarthy on Christmas to extend an invitation, he quickly accepted.

Viewing the action under an awning cover on a half circular couch, the two dispensed a few words of navigation and stories of Mac adventures over six decades. Turning 94 July 25, McCarthy added to his record making this his 67th Mac.

“I had the perfect spot for the race,” said McCarthy, who lives in St. Petersburg, Fla. “We made a few suggestions, but it was an excellent crew with great experience. I kept in tune with everything going on, on the boat.

“That was a great Christmas present. If Peter hadn’t called, I probably wouldn’t have gone.”

In a heartfelt moment, McCarthy addressed the crew Sunday morning as they celebrated with beers.

“I thanked the crew for the hard work and success,” he said. “This was by far the most rewarding Mac sail I’ve done. I’ve never sailed in such luxury. When I went to sleep [in the cabin] it was the most comfortable sleep I’ve experienced.” Their rousing applause was returned.

McCarthy remained on Mackinac Island for the Island Goat Society Party the afternoon of July 26th. –

To be represented by Premium Yachts, Ferretti Yachts and Riva , two prestigious brands of the Ferretti Group, will be present at the Moscow International Boat Show 2013, displaying motor yacht Ferretti 530 as well as Riva Iseo yacht tender.

Luxury motor yacht Ferretti 530

Luxury yacht Ferretti 530 was very keen to undertake in collaboration once again with AYT – Advanced Yacht Technology, Ferretti Group Engineering Division and Studio Zuccon International Project . The compact dimensions, 16 meters long and almost 5 meters wide, allow the 530 yacht to deliver grand Italian luxury and cruising immersed in such comfort until now unheard of in a yacht of this size.

Ferretti 530 yacht boasts three revolutionary innovations: the full beam master cabin with chaise longue and two large open view windows that make it a real suite at sea level bathed in light, tones and the natural essences of teak. Moving the galley from the center to the aft section creates a unique open space that includes the saloon, galley, cocktail bar and the dining area, the cockpit area continues thanks to the tilting window. The roll bar free sky lounge and the spoiler allow the 530 a sporty appearance combined with elegantly formal lines.

Ferretti 530 Yacht - Interior

Riva , the iconic Ferretti Group brand, presented a new model at the historical Lake d’Iseo shipyards in July 2011. Featuring elegance and ease of transportation as its distinctive characteristics, Iseo superyacht tender , a 27 foot runabout, is destined to become a must-have for those who love cruising on both lakes and the sea, and, most importantly, design enthusiasts. It is also perfect for anyone wishing to enhance their yacht with an exclusive tender that will never go unnoticed.

Riva Iseo superyacht tender

Due to its ease of manoeuvrability and size, Iseo yacht tender is also ideal as a tender for large yachts. Innovative and elegant, it can also guarantee comfort in bad weather conditions. Besides the electrohydraulic bimini top, it was also designed with a waterproof, automobile-style soft top which protects those on board against water and the wind during cruising.
