UKSA (maritime charity)

UKSA in Cowes (previously called UK Sailing Academy) is a youth charity offering maritime training opportunities, founded by MFI entrepreneur Noel Lister in 1987. He bought a Sports Council building with the intention of giving young people the opportunity to experience adventurous maritime activity. HRH The Princess Royal became Patron of UKSA in 1992.Dame Ellen MacArthur, Shirley Robertson, OBE and Hilary Lister are all Ambassadors for the charity.

Today UKSA’s charitable work is split into three areas:

  • professional training courses for maritime employment
  • non-standard education for schools and groups
  • youth development enrichment programmes

    • Careers

    UKSA began teaching watersports career courses in 1990 and yachting career courses in 1993 as a way for people from all backgrounds and circumstances to be able to get the right qualifications for a career in the maritime industry.

    Watersports

    The first watersports course taught was Leisure Management Training. In 1994 Professional Instructor Training was created and over the years has progressed to become Watersports Instructor Training. Students can also train in a host of additional individual qualifications. The watersports training currently takes place on the Isle of Wight but has previously been overseas, in Dahab, Egypt, Australia (2003–2007) and Barbados (1996–2003).

    Stigmata

    by: Weeks

    Well I met the man who killed my mother
    He put holes inside her arms
    No they were not marks of stigmata lord
    Just a drug pumping empty heart
    Well I met the man who took my father
    Put him in jail and locked him away
    Well they say he forgot his children lord
    He might remember us again someday
    I blame the devil
    Well I met the man who killed my grandmother
    He took her mind as the shotgun blew
    A year later my grandfather followed her
    He’d had enough and shot himself too
    Well I met the man who took my good friend
    Oh, but he was only seventeen
    I saw him laying in a cushioned coffin lord
    It wasn’t him staring back at me
    I blame the devil, what else could it be
    I blame Jesus he ain't answering me
    Don’t call me depressed, don’t call me sad
    I’m giving up on this life I had
    Well I met the man who raped my childhood
    Oh well we were never young it’s true
    But when everyone around you keeps dying lord
    What the hell are we supposed to do
    Well I met the man who took my sister
    In a new family she will stay
    And it’s true that my mother’s a sinner lord
    She let another family fade away
    I blame the devil, what else could it be
    I blame Jesus he ain't answering me
    Don’t call me depressed, don’t call me sad
