Holland to host Canada's Cup yacht race U.S. trials, final competition

WHTC reports that Holland, Mich. will be the site of the 2011 Canada's Cup U.S. trials and finals competition, only the second time in the race's 115-year history that the competition will be on Lake Michigan waters.

According to excerpts from the story:

It's not the America's Cup, but it could be the closest thing to it that the Lakeshore will ever see. Officials of the Macatawa Bay Yacht Club announced yesterday that it will be the host site for the US trials and the final competition in the Canada's Cup race late this summer. The honor came via having Bob Hughes win the trophy at the helm of the Heritage four years ago, and both he and Amway heir Doug DeVos are representing the local team in its efforts to successfully defend the 115-year-old prize.
