About Us

Maastricht Student Sailing Association, Lagakari, was formed on the 19th of November, 1987 by 6 UM students. Since 1987, the students of Maastricht have gotten the opportunity to learn how to sail or expand their existing knowledge. 

Lagakari aims to introduce the boat life to every student out there. That’s why everyone is welcome to join us. Whether you’ve never set a foot on boat before or if you’ve already crossed the Atlantic, it doesn’t matter! We are here to teach and learn from each other. Members who have sufficient sailing levels teach members without experience. That’s the Lagakari dynamic!

There is one more thing that we love (almost) as much as sailing, and that is social activities. It is very important for us to keep the balance between activities and sailing. We love to show the Lagakari spirit everywhere we go.

Now you might wonder where do these people sail? As a matter of luck, there is a lake, Grindgat, and a harbour only 20 minutes bike ride from the city. That’s where we have our boats. And where do we party? We have our weekly drinks every Thursday evening in our usual pub. So, if you want to get to know us, either come and join our sailing days or stop by for drinks on Thursdays.
