Lancaster University Sailing Club (LUSC) is a student run club for the students of Lancaster University who wish to race on the University team racing circuit, learn the sport or develop their sailing skills. The club currently owns a fleet of 6 Fireflys, 4 Laser II's and a Lark which are kept at Bolton Sailing Club where we Race and train. The club is approximately 40 minutes away from the University Campus and minibus transport is usually available. We sail continuously throughout the year from October, through the winter, and of course in the summer months. We sail, on average twice a week in the winter and usually more often in the summer months. On Wednesday afternoons we focus on the less experienced members of the club and on recreational sailing. Most Saturday's are spent developing our racing skills to make us a more competitive University team. We compete in both national events and University led events for example Roses (vs York University) and Big B (vs our old buoys). We mostly race Fireflys during term time and the lark for special events during the summer. Provisions are made for both new sailors and experienced helms and crews which means there is a wide range of skill within the club. For more information about learning to sail have a look at our learning to sail pages. As a club we do not only focus on the sailing side of things, we also have a very active social calendar. Socials range from weekly drinks in Fylde Bar to laser quest to campus bar crawls complete with drinking games in every bar. This often spills over into the clubs in town, where we also often get VIP entrance. Other big events for us are our Christmas meal and our legendary start of year 3-legged campus bar crawl.
