Kaarster Segel-Club e.V.
Kaarster Segel-Club e.V. is an active sailing club on the Großer Kaarster See lake in Kaarst near Düsseldorf. The club trains children on Optimist dinghies and provides RS Quest boats for the next step; juniors also sail ILCA 7. A major focus is comprehensive training from the youth sailing certificate through the inland sport boat licence to the SKS, often in cooperation with the Kaarst-Korschenbroich adult education centre since the early 1970s. The youth section invites members to train on Thursdays and offers winter activities, training camps and trips such as on the IJsselmeer as well as regatta participation. The club is particularly committed to inclusion and sailing for people with disabilities. In 2025 the KSC celebrated its 50th anniversary; regattas at the lake include the opening-of-season regatta and the Glocken regatta.
