About the club
A not-for-profit club of people passionate about sailing, all the activities that go with it, and just plain fun. Started in 1985 and still run by its members.
Who we are
LMSA promotes racing, cruising, seamanship, education, safety and community involvement. It was started by local sailors who wanted to share, expand and improve their sailing.
New members of all skill levels are always welcome — individuals, young adults and families, novice to champion. Some keep boats on the lake, some trailer, and some own no boat and crew with others.
The year
Monthly meetings and club races, the Wednesday Rum Race from March to October, the Jameson Sunday series, cruises, seminars and trips to other clubs’ regattas. We host three regattas: the Trans Monroe – Southern Challenge in March, the Mother’s Arm Challenge in November and Sanford Sailfest in December.
In the community
We take part in the Historic Sanford Welcome Center’s Alive After Five, City of Sanford parades and festivals, and Seminole County’s Lake Monroe Clean-Up. LMSA is a member of US Sailing and is developing a youth sailing program.
Getting involved
Crew, help on committee boats, organize an event, become an officer, write up a race for the news page — or just spend more time sailing, relaxing and socializing.
What we sail
The fleet
Everything from beach cats to cruising keelboats, so all racing is scored on handicap.
Drawn to each class’s length overall. The San Juan 21s are our largest class.
Bosun is currently open — mention it at a monthly meeting if you’d like the job.
