Established in 1971, the Lake Saint Louis Sailing Club
was organized by individuals interested in sailing, promoting the
art and providing a training environment for beginning sailors.
In November of 2009, the club by-laws were amended to add paddling
sports to the club's activies. These include kayaking, rowing, and
canoeing. The Lake Saint Louis Sailing & Paddling Club
is a family oriented organization with sailing crews consisting
of all combinations of spouses, parents, grandparents, children,
grandchildren, siblings....you name it.
Throughout the sailing season, which can run as long as March to
December (or even longer for the more adventurous), we plan a variety
of activities for our members to encourage sailing and paddling
for the love of the sports, and to help develop skills that will
make all our members feel safe and competent at the helm. These
activities can include racing and regattas, sailing and kayaking
lessons, fun sails, moonlight paddling, and social activities, like
our annual Pirate Party.
For 2010, we are once again pleased to play host to the US Sailing
Junior Olympic Sailing Festival - Midwest. Juniors from all over
the country are invited to participate in the Junior Olympic Festival.
This year's festival includes our popular Pirate Party, which has
been featured in St.
Louis Magazine!
The Lake Saint Louis Sailing & Paddling Club is also the proud
sponsor of the Lake Saint Louis On-the-Water Boat Show, which is
held each year at the Windjammer Marina in Lake Saint Louis, Missouri.
This is our primary fundraiser, and proceeds from this event are
used to support and promote youth sailing and paddling in Lake Saint
Louis.
We encourage anyone in Lake Saint Louis that is interested in learning
about sailing or paddling, or sharing their own experiences with
fellow boaters, to join our club. Our members have access to Club
and Community Association owned boats, so you don't need to own
your own boat to enjoy boating in Lake Saint Louis.
