Don't know much about Illinois, but there are lakes up there I've heard, surely there are sailing clubs, etc for the summer. I have a small (14 foot) two-hull dinghy thing I bought maybe 38 years ago that I need to get out again on one of the lakes or bays here south of Sydney , Australia.

Illinois boarders a small inland sea named "Lake Michigan" (58000 km^2) that is great for sailing and often has regattas.
