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.
The Lake Saint Louis Sailing & Paddling Club is 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.
