PRINCIPAL’S WELCOME
The L.D.S.A. – The Lincoln and
District Sailing
Association, a recognised RYA Training Establishment - is an
association of Lincolnshire schools which exists to promote the
sport to students in the county. Manned entirely by volunteers,
many of them teachers, and funded mainly by our students and
their schools, the association has its own boats at Apex Lake in
North Hykeham and shares the facilities of the Hykeham Sailing
Club there. Schools sail in the evenings from April to October
and provide their own fully qualified Senior Instructors, Dinghy
Instructors and rescue boat handlers. Any schools are welcome to
sail with us as long as they, or schools already involved, can
provide trained staff. We teach sailing up to Instructor level
and many of our sixth formers gain this qualification before
going on to sail at university and to earn money teaching during
their vacations. We are keen to expand and offer free training
to any teacher who wishes to bring pupils sailing.
To help fund our sailing we
also run a few courses each year for adults who wish to learn to
sail, to handle a power boat or to improve their sailing. These
courses are always very popular and early booking is
recommended. You will find details elsewhere on this web site.
Thank you for visiting our web
site. We hope you will find the opportunity to sail with us some
time.
