Leukemia Cup 2018

October 4, 2018

Sail in the Leukemia Cup Regatta and Join Modern Sailing in Fighting Blood Cancer

The registration fee to participate is $150. Modern Sailing donates 100% of the registration fees to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS).

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). The SF Bay Area’s Leukemia Cup began in 2005.

How can you participate? Come sailing with us!

Join one of the race boats as crew! Each boat will have a Modern Sailing Coach on board to guide you and lead the team across the finish line – no racing experience necessary.

As a participant, you can have an online fundraising page to raise additional funds. Help fund research to cure blood cancers and support one of the most efficient charities, with 75% of your donation going to programs, services and research.

Last year we had 7 boats on the water and more than 40 participants.  We collectively raised $28K!! This year, we want to beat that!!

Sign-up now! Specific boat assignments will be administered by Modern Sailing. If you have team requests please contact us!

    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!

    Every aspect of Modern Sailing - training, syllabus, course materials, quality of the boats, quality of the instructors, and the very friendly and helpful staff - exceeded my expectations. Modern Sailing has a first class sailing program in an environment with challenging winds and currents. I look forward to coming back to charter a boat and certainly plan to continue my sailing training.

    Our team at Salesforce did the Corporate Regatta Team Buidling activity (August 2026). What a blast!! HIghly recommend for your next team activity. It's fun to be out on the water, but the skippers also did a great job of teaching us all the sailing basics. The race is set up well so that we all had a chance to try out different roles. We did it with 11 people across two boats but having more boats is also doable and would lead to even more competition.

    I try to get out on the water every week: out the Gate, around Angel, up Raccoon - I love it all. After 18 years as a member of OCSC in Berkeley, I learned to sail the bigger boats at Modern by taking ASA 103 and 104. My ASA 104 instructor Dave Russell was terrific. Also, Captain Bill Moreland has been very generous in giving informal advice whenever I’ve asked him. Thanks to Bill, I no longer have any anxiety about docking!

    I would like to compliment Stan Lander for his coaching, counseling and teaching Heavy Weather Offshore Sailing. Stan was very accommodating to all of the student's interests and shared his many years of insight on handling the boat in heavy seas. I would certainly recommend Stan and this course to sheltered waters sailors. My confidence in handling a boat of this size was certainly enhanced by the experience.
