Can this sailboat handle Lake Huron? | Great Lakes Now

Mackinaw boats used to be a common sight on the #greatlakes. Today they've all but vanished. Luckily, one group in Tawas City, #michigan is working to keep the legacy of this historic #sailboat alive. Ward Detwiler met up with Heritage Coast Sailing and Rowing and tried his hand at sailing a mackinaw boat on #lakehuron.
