About Us
We are a group of volunteers who share a love of sailing and a
commitment to provide opportunities for young people in our local
schools to learn to sail safely and affordably. We aim to teach children
the basic skills to sail safely for pleasure, to gain RYA qualifications
or to enjoy the thrill of competition.
The LDSA is self financing and runs on donations from participating
schools, grants from charitable organisations and funds raised by
running adult courses.
Supervision and teaching are undertaken by our volunteers, many of
whom are teachers, some who are students but all who are fully qualified
RYA Senior Instructors, Dinghy Instructors, Power Boat Instructors or
Assistant Instructors.
We are affiliated to Hykeham Sailing Club and enjoy a close
relationship with the many competitive sailors who are always willing to
pass on their knowledge and experience. The club provides changing and
shower facilities
During the season we sail after school on most evenings and on many
weekends. |
