On Saturday June 15, 2024 the Chicago Police Sailing Association presents the 6th annual Gold Star Regatta hosted by the Jackson Park Yacht Club and this year supported by the Burnham Park Yacht Club. The Gold Star is an event for sailboats to compete in a sail race along Chicago's shore line of Lake Michigan. The event will include a family friendly post-race party with beverages and food available. After the race there will be an awards ceremony at the Jackson Park Yacht Club located at 6400 S. Promontory Drive in Chicago. There is a gate code for parking available.
We encourage you to arrive in Burnham Harbor at 8:30am for cake and coffee. At approximately 9:30am we will have a quick prayer service by a CPD Chaplin along with a CPD Bag Piper and Marine Unit Vessel on scene for an escort to the start line.
This event continues to support our families of fallen Police Officer's and help us to develop sailing opportunities for our first responders. We hope you are motivated by this effort to participate in the race by registering your sailboat on Yacht Scoring, click here After crossing the finish line sailors are encouraged to continue directly into Jackson Park outer harbor where transient docking is available and rafting is allowed.
Thank you kindly, Captain Marlon E. Harvey President CPSA.
