The Lake Chelan Sailing Association is a very informal group of folks from North Central Washington who love sailing and want to share the experience with you!
LCSA is a not for profit association (we are working on 501c3 status for contribution benefits). We work to provide access to sailing on Lake Chelan and offer periodic sailing courses to enhance that access. It is our goal to help insure cost is not a limiting factor in your sailing opportunity.
At this time we ask for a $25 annual membership contribution. Membership grants access to all of our activities and, after being checked out by an instructor, you can use any of the LCSA fleet of 9 C-Lark 14s, 2 Hobies, and coming Summer 2006, the Flying Dutchman. The boats are stored at the Chelan City Marina and are available on a first come, first served bases and are used at your own risk.
We do not rent boats and boat use is subject to an LCSA instructor certifying your ability at the instructors convenience, in other words, if you are in town for the weekend and looking for a sailboat to use while you are here on vacation it isn't going to happen.
On the other hand, if you are interested in sailing, and especially if you are interested in contributing some of your time toward helping us operate we welcome you.
All of our meetings, work parties, races, classes, and cruises are open to anyone, if you don't have a boat show up anyway, someone will be glad to take you on as crew.
We support boating education and safety and encourage everyone to take a boater education course and learn the rules of the road along with boating etiquette.
