PRINCIPAL’S
WELCOME
The LDSA – 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 website.
Thank you for visiting our web site. We hope you will find the
opportunity to sail with us some time.
