Welcome...
North
Lincolnshire & Humberside Sailing Club 's purpose is to promote
dinghy and windsurf sailing for leisure and racing.
Established in 1953 the club supports dinghy sailing and windsurfing
on an 80 acre inland water close to the Humber Estuary. The club has
excellent facilities and is open all year round with regular
programmes of racing for dinghies and windsurfers. It is family
orientated and offers training to members and non members of all
ages. The members sail a variety of dinghies, the most popular
being, Albacore, Laser 1, Laser 4.7, Mirror, Miracle, RS 200 and
Topper.
We also have a windsurf race series and an active junior windsurf
section.
Family Day 05 May
2008
I am pleased to report that we had an estimated 200 plus visitors to our
club on Monday 05 May 2008 attending our Family/Open Day. The weather
was perfect along with the atmosphere. We hope to generate new members
to our club with many taking application forms. I would like to say a
big thank
you to all those on behalf of the Committee who volunteered their time
and hard work prior to Monday and on the day itself. It is fair to say
the day was a fantastic success. Photos will be published soon. Once
again -
thank you. John Bushell.
George Bowles
gained third place in Techno 7.8 at the Mumbles UKWA cup event. Sailing
in light winds but with strong currents in Swansea bay really put the
sailors through their paces at the first of the UKWA sea events.
After 4 races Sam Sills won by a clear margin to gain first place which
left George and Matt Brown battling for second place on equal points.
Matt was given it as he had the highest place in the last race.

At a recent committee
meeting it was noted that the club may be missing an
opportunity to attract 'passing trade' onto the premises (mainly hikers
& dog
walkers on the sea-defence path).
The clubs aspect to the North is rather foreboding, what with the 2
storey
brickwork & the steel door, flanked at either end by security fencing.
So - to make us more approachable, we have decided to place a bell near
the
steel door, and a large 3x2 foot sign close to it with a welcome message
inviting the passing strangers to come on in.
Please - if you hear the bell, or see any strangers wandering around,
invite
them in for a tour or even a sail if you are rigged & have a spare
lifejacket! (but be sure to enter them in the visitors book) and perhaps
afterwards
you could direct them to the membership application forms in rack near
the
veranda door.
