MOCKINGBIRD is owned by Chris Duhon and sails for the Columbia Yacht Club in Chicago. The program came to life in 2018 with an older boat; in 2021 they upgraded to the newer boat that they are currently sailing.
This team enjoys the variety of inshore and offshore racing offered in the GL 52 Fleet.
Led by tactician Nick Rogers, MOCKINGBIRD has built a new team for 2024. The crew is is comprised of a healthy mix of experience, young up-and-comers as well as professionals and amateurs.
