2019 Leukemia Cup Regatta Results | Modern Sailing

2019 Leukemia Cup Regatta Results

8 Yachts. 54 Pirates. $17,780 Raised.

Sailors participating in the Leukemia Cup Regatta on Sunday, October 20 were rewarded with blissful sailing conditions on San Francisco Bay - warm sunshine, flat water, and easy 12-knot breezes.

This year our band of Pirates achieved a 2nd Place Top Fundraising Team award, while Team Phoenix, skippered by our CEO Leigh Hunt, sailed to a 3rd place finish in her class. The turnout of our enthusiastic Pirates was hard to not notice, prompting our friends at Latitude 38 to give our blue-shirted mob a nod in their article, Leukemia Cup — As Good As It Gets.

Thank you to all who participated and donated for helping to make a difference in the lives of those affected by blood cancers and for making the Regatta a fun and memorable event for all.

Our gratitude goes out especially to Kevin Holden and Ernest Khirallah, our inspirational leaders behind Team Pirates for a Cause, and individual fundraisers Maureen, Melissa, Leigh, Deniz, Daniele, Jeff, and Gina who went above and beyond in their contributions to the Modern Sailing team effort.

Missed the boat? It's not too late to donate.

Testimonials

  • Emma & George Stubbs, Sausalito

    We just took our ASA 106 at a school in Rhode Island as we prepare for 6 months of cruising in the Caribbean. The class was great, but more than anything it made us really appreciate the quality of teaching and rigor at Modern Sailing. Even though we were the newest to sailing, the group seemed to think that we had the best fundamentals. We felt very well prepared and we see why Modern Sailing has the reputation it does.

    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.

    I love sailing in the San Francisco Bay and greatly appreciate everything that MSC has to offer, the classes, clinics, club sails, racing and charters. I enjoy our supportive sailing community and use every opportunity to spend time on the water. After obtaining the certifications from MSC I did my first charter in Croatia in 2022 with my family. It was amazing and we’re looking forward to returning soon!
