Lincoln & District Sailing Association

Lincoln & District Sailing Association Lincoln and District Sailing Association (LDSA), a Royal Yachting Association Training Centre for dinghy sailing, powerboating and shore-based courses.

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 fr

om charitable organisations and funds raised by running adult courses. 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 throughout British Summer Time, we sail after school on most evenings and on many weekends.

At our recent AGM, our Chair, Howard, had the great pleasure of presenting an RYA Impact Award to our long-serving Chief Instructor, Bob Hustwick.

Bob is a familiar and highly valued presence at LDSA, where he leads our dedicated volunteer team in delivering a wide range of courses and on-the-water sessions. His commitment, leadership and enthusiasm have enabled countless sailors to develop their skills, grow in confidence, and discover a lifelong love of being on the water.

The RYA Impact Awards recognise individuals, clubs and organisations that have made a significant contribution to the boating community. They celebrate those who work to make sailing more accessible, inclusive, sustainable and successful — values that Bob has consistently embodied throughout his time at LDSA.

His award citation reads: “Your time, energy and passion makes a meaningful difference and we are grateful for your valuable support.”

Everyone at LDSA would like to warmly congratulate Bob and thank him for the enormous contribution he has made — and continues to make — to our organisation and to the many young sailors whose journeys he has helped shape.

Help LDSA support as many young people as possible to and experience sailing in 2026!
