The North London Sailing Association (NLSA) is a community group dedicated to providing easy access to affordable sailing for anyone who wants to sail. With the aim of getting more people out onto the water, developing their skills, extending their experience both on inland and coastal waters, and hopefully building a passion for the sport.
Our Mission
Our mission is to promote sailing opportunities within the local community, and to provide a platform for sailors of all levels to improve their skills and enjoy the sport. We believe that sailing is a fantastic way to get people out of their comfort zone, challenge themselves, and develop new skills.
Our Locations
We have two locations where members can sail: West Reservoir in Stoke Newington, London and Brightlingsea Centre in Essex. West Reservoir is a beautiful location, tucked away in the London Borough of Hackney, and offers 23 acres of water. Sailing sessions run all year round, with additional weekly sessions held during the summer.
Racing and Training
Racing and training are an integral part of the NLSA. We offer RYA training courses for both dinghies and powerboats, and our racing programme provides a fun and challenging way to improve your sailing skills. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or just starting out, we welcome everyone to join us on the water and enjoy the thrill of racing.
