JULY 2024. Mackinac Island, Mich. — Henssler Financial staff and their guests set sail on the Detroit Charter Company’s Santa Cruz 70 Trident through the Straits of Mackinac and under the Mackinac Bridge as part of the 100th Bayview Mackinac race celebration.
The Kennesaw, Georgia financial firm partnered with Detroit Charter Company by sponsoring the asymmetrical spinnaker sail on the Trident, captained by Austin Colpaert. The racing vessel was chartered by Marc Hollerbach for the 100th Bayview Mackinac Race and sailed by a crew made up almost entirely of Hollerbach family members during the race.
The VIP experience itinerary included a leisurely sail along the island’s shores, interactive sessions with the crew, and opportunities to learn about the art of sailing.
“The VIP experience on Mackinac Island was extraordinary,” said Stacy Haubenschild, Henssler Financial’s Chief Operating Officer. “The dedication and hospitality of Detroit Charter Company made the day incredibly special among the breathtaking views of Mackinac Island’s historic beauty. We are grateful for the opportunity to enjoy such a unique and memorable experience.”
“It was an honor to host Henssler Financial for this special event on Mackinac Island,” said Colpaert. “The opportunity to share the joy of sailing with our valued partners was truly rewarding. The beauty of the Great Lakes and the camaraderie we experienced made this an unforgettable day.”
Dr. Gene Henssler, the founder of the firm and a Michigan native, has always been a staunch supporter of tourism in his home state. Henssler Financial’s sponsorship will enable Detroit Charter Company to further invest in their sail inventory, enhancing fully managed racing charters, ensuring top-notch services, and providing memorable experiences.
“We believe in the importance of community engagement and are delighted to partner with a company that shares our dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction,” said Haubenschild. “We look forward to seeing the exciting developments this sponsorship will bring.”
