The August board meeting will be held at Imo's Restaurant in Farmer City. Monday Aug 22nd, 6:00PM

We are hosting an Introduction to Sailing event at Clinton Lake Sailing Association pavilion. Learn about the club, get some hands-on sailing instruction, and go for a day sail!

See you there at 1:00PM Friday!

This event is subject to cancelation if no one volunteers to coordinate the activities.

A triangle race has been added to the schedule on Sunday September 11 to replace the Hydroplane races that were canceled.

We have an open date on the calendar because the U of I regatta was moved to another location.

This is an opportunity to try something new and fun.

We will be having a relay race of probably 2 teams.

Teams will be made up of a group of boats with a similar Portsmouth handicap total.
for example team 1 may have (a thistle, scot, and Capri22) team two may have (a thistle, laser and Hunter 260)

Every boat has a Portsmouth handicap rating, so there are endless combinations to equalize the teams.

The annual Valley Forge Forage hike at Clinton Lake.

Come on out and join the fun! Anna and Jeff will host this early spring/late winter sail. Anyone with a cabin boat can participate and if you don't have a cabin boat, just come on down to the slips and we'll find you a berth on one! This is also a potluck/hotluck. Jeff will give us more details, since I'm new to this concept!

Come join us at Ted's Garage in Clinton for a delicious meal and to catch up with fellow sailors. We'll have a silent auction, good food and a presentation about racing 101. Meals are $20 and there will be a choice of three entrees, including a vegetarian option. RSVP to snotnosetommy@gmail or 309-825-9689

Clinton Lake is located roughly 35 miles from Champaign/Urbana or Bloomington/Normal. The CLSA pavilion is best reached from Route 10 south of the lake. Find White Pigeon/Marina road and drive north. Take the entrance to Clinton Lake Marina (called Sailboat Way) and look for our facility just north (to your right) of the marina grounds.
