The Leukemia Cup Regattas, established in 1993, are national charitable sailing and cruising events committed to raising funds to support the mission of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS).
Modern Sailing School & Club is the premier sailing school on the West Coast. We have been teaching adults how to sail on the San Francisco Bay and internationally since 1983. Our personable and experienced professionals provide the highest level of instruction on the San Francisco Bay and California coast. Courses and specialty clinics are taught year-round, during the week and on the weekend.
We'll soon leave winter chartering in our wake with the return of Daylight Saving season on March 14. Learn what changes to MSC charter rates and policies to expect when the clock springs forward one hour.
This year, MSC instructor and race coach Captain Mark Jordan participated in the Singlehanded Sailing Society's Three Bridge Fiasco, sailing his Hanse 342 Twelve-Winded Sky. In his own words, Mark tells the story of his first singlehanded racing challenge.

Need a healthy dose of inspiration?
The infamous San Francisco Bay fog can catch anyone off-guard, making this article a must-read for every Modern Sailor. Prepare to navigate back to base in poor visibility by following this informative guide.
Are you considering a socially-distanced sailing weekend or staycation on San Francisco Bay this winter? Winter on the Bay can provide some very pleasant and mild conditions for sailing - and the nights can get a bit chilly! But don't be deterred!
I took ASA 101 with them recently. They have the best customer service I've ever seen! I mistyped my address when I signed up online so didn't receive the textbook. I called and the lady immediately sent me another copy! Everyone at the club is super friendly.
Since many, many years, I had the dream to sail underneath the Golden Gate bridge. On October 14th last year, my dream became true. Thanks to our dear friend Aaron Fritz who made it possible and organized this cruise for us. With this adventure I was able to achieve one more milestone on my sailing career.
Finally on the water, it was great! Full moon made the flows even stronger and it was like sailing in a washing machine.
I did my sailing education in the English Channel, where the situation with the wind and flows is comparable to the San Francisco Bay. So I felt pretty much "at home" being on the helm in the Bay.
I hope our skipper Stan Lander enjoyed this day cruise too. We, definitely did! It was an unforgettable experience for all of us.
A very big thank you to all of you who made it possible, that my dream became reality! Also thank you for the MSC flag I got at the end of the day. It found it's place in my study, where I can see it daily.
The office staff was very accommodating in meeting my availability.
