* Sailing for Hope Regatta 2012- May 18-20- Why:  “Because no child should die in the dawn of life” Danny Thomas.  Sailing for Hope 2012 is a charity regatta benefiting St Jude Children's Research Hospital. Sail in our popular mixed class distance race on Saturday May 19 or choose to sail with the J/22 South East Circuit in a windward/leeward course on May 19 & 20.  Pre race skipper meeting and party May 18th on the beach at Lighthouse Landing, our host marina. Trophies will be awarded in all classes at the post race dinner.

The Regatta is sponsored by Kentucky Lake Sailing Club and is held on Kentucky Lake, part of the Intra-Coastal Waterway and the largest man-made lake in the eastern United States.
