I grew up there, plenty of sailing. My father is owns a large boat dealership and repair facility (www.rottgeringmarine.com) there. There is a local sailing club (KLSC) and a yacht club. There are a couple of sailboat only marinas and plenty of other larger marinas (Think 100 50'+ slips per pier w/6-8 piers).

The sailing club runs monthly races w/two "championship" type races per year. They run a spring 100k or 100 mile race in the spring (distance varies by year) and a fall 50k. You see everything including J22's, 24, 80, 92, 105, 32, 40, Hunters of all shapes and sizes, B24, Cal, Catalina's, Beneteaus, Sovrel, Corsair..... They used to do some laser and sunfish sailing, but have not lived or raced there in several years and don't know if that program has died or not.

They ran J80 NA's a couple of years back on KY lake out of Dad's shop (crane and travel lift was needed for the event). The water is nice and deep and you could go almost anywhere.

There used to be a LOT of H-16 sailors in the area, but not anymore. One of the big problems is a lack of beaches for cats to use. If you don't mind an asphalt regatta, there are some huge parking lots at some of the marina's that are used to host some monster fishing tournaments. Since we knew the marina owners, we kept my Star in the lot mast up during the summer, so there is plenty of room to maneuver w/a stick up.

As far as wind goes: You either get a really good day or a really bad day. Anytime in the spring and fall is usually good, but summer days are like playing roulette.

There is a Hobie dealer up there, but.....
