Chautauqua Lake Community Sailing Foundation
Teaching the community to sail, race, and love the sport of sailing!
Welcome to the CLCSF, where our goal is to provide an easy and affordable way for everyone to enjoy sailing on Lake Chautauqua. We focus on High School team racing, as well as youth through adult sailing courses and education. CLCSF is a Non-profit Community-based organization founded in 2015. Our boats are located just off of Lakewood Beach in Lakewood, NY.
Thank y’all for making our annual fundraiser last Thursday night such an amazing night! We are thankful to all who could attend and those who donated to keeping our boats on the water for the community to enjoy.
CLCSF in conjunction with CLYC is hosting the I-LYA Opti Championship on July 20th at Chautauqua Lake Yacht Club.
