Clinton Lake Sailing is arguably the best club in Illinois. When I joined last June I was given loads of coaching and help by Flying Scot Fleet #135. I have yet to meet a member who isn't willing to help or answer any questions I have. The fleet continuously provides me with free loaner boats to practice and compete with at Clinton Lake and even travel regattas. Membership of this club allows me to compete with world class sailors, something invaluable for a beginner skipper. I cannot recommend this group enough and look forward to getting back on the lake this Spring!

We (me, wife, 2 kids) got a family membership last year and we all love it. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. My wife took the beginner sailing class from Gerry, and we both sail thistles on Thursdays. You don't have to own your own boat. There are several regular sailing events every week (during warm weather) and people are always looking for crew members. The club also has a nice fleet of small boats that members can take out for free. For what you get, the membership fee is really low, probably because everyone is so proactive and willing to help out. Whether you're just learning the ropes, buying a boat, or making repairs & upgrades, there's someone in the club who knows what to do and will readily share their advice over a cold beverage. The collective wisdom at this club is enormous. It's a really great group of people at a beautiful lake.
Just learned of CLSA and went to visit. This is an amazing place. Everyone is engaging and incredibly friendly. Was really impressed with the Thistle fleet here \u003cthistleclass.com\u003e. As a newbie to racing, I was a bit apprehensive but everyone has shown me support and encouragement. This is not a yacht club or yacht club mentality. Think: your own Eden with sailing and like-minded people. I think I will spend a lot of time here. Highly recommended to anyone interested in racing sailboats in Central Illinois.
When I moved out to the cornfields, I really didn't expect to find a sailing venue or a group of people like this. The sailors here are the perfect mix of friendly, competitive, and generous. They've made Illinois feel more like home :)
Great group of people that make anyone feel welcome. We quickly became like family. My daughter always lights up anytime I say we are headed to the club or to sail.
