Welcome to K-S-A.

Killington Sailing Association welcomes all types of sailors and canoeists to our lake. The presence of wind turbines gives an indication of good wind conditions on most days with a prevailing SW wind. Racing takes place in an informal fashion on Wednesday evenings during BST. There is no formal instruction for sailors but peer teaching can be arranged. Several youth groups use the lake such as Kendal Sea Cadets and Lancaster Sea Scouts as well as many clients from Bendrigg Lodge. New members are always welcome and contact should be made initially to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Newsletter

 

Welcome to the Spring Newsletter from the KSA Committee. 

In an attempt to keep members better informed we have outlined some of the actions that have happened during the winter months and what is to come this season. 

 

Work completed so far 

We had a successful workday last month which resulted in the clubhouse being made ready for the season and the grounds being cleared of debris. A big thanks to those who could make it on the day. 

The weather station has been replaced and is being tested before being attached to the old jetty, big thanks to Myles Ripley.  

Peter Melling has created and installed a kayak rack for members to use. 

Planned work 

Replace defective window units. 

Make alterations to the clubhouse partition. 

Look at the triangular berth area to make better use of the space. 

Construct two canoe racks along the boundary fence.
