Dissolved
This club has
officially sailed off into the sunset. The
Lake Pend Oreille Yacht Club
has expressed interest in taking over the Sailing Education program we used to
offer. They also have a very active racing program if you are looking for
crewing opportunities.
Thanks to everyone who put so much work into this club for its few years of existence. In the end, there just wasn't enough interest to keep it going.
Welcome to the Coeur d'Alene Sailing Association website. The Coeur d'Alene Sailing Association was established in 2003. With Lake Coeur d'Alene as its backdrop, CSA offers sailing opportunities for all ages and interests. With racing and cruising events and our education program, there is something for almost everyone. Come join us on the lake.
Each year we have a packed schedule of events. There is hardly a week all summer that the club isn't getting together for some fun. We have a full racing schedule and many social events. In addition to three different Wednesday night series and several weekend races, we have a major racing event each season called The Brien Duncan Cup CDA Regatta. There will be Several one-design classes, including J-24s, Stars, and any other class with enough sign-ups to justify formation of a one-design class.
For the cruisers, we have the traditional events; the Memorial Day Harrison Cruise, the Ship/Captain and Crew Race (more of a poker run than a race), a Champagne and Chocolate Social (raft-up), the Cruisers' Buoy Race and boat parade, and the Labor Day Harrison Cruise, along with other cruising / family oriented events.
The club's Education program is expanding each year. In April and in October we are including a Coastal Navigation course. We are expanding the youth sailing program as well. In an effort to promote youth sailing, CSA is seeking sponsorship to help with the purchase of some Optimist prams for our youth to learn to sail, and then race. Sponsors will be able to make donations to the program, and in return receive advertising on "their boat". We are now working with North Idaho College (NIC) in a joint effort to expand both sailing programs. This will move the sailing school to NIC, which is a more convenient location.
