Free sailing this summer starts Friday 4th June, 6pm rigging and will continue throughout the summer, subject to attendance. This is a chance to just sail without the pressures of a racing place hanging over your head. Work on your technique, talk to and watch other sailors or just get out there for a blast and a bit of fun.
You must have an RYA level 2 qualification if you want to helm but if you still want to pick up some tips and aren’t qualified you’re welcome to join us. Safety cover will be available.
Babbacombe Corinthian Sailing Club is proud to announce the BCSC Sailing Regatta, now in its 184th year, which will take place on the weekend of 12th and 13th June. There will be a 3 race series, 2 races Saturday, 1 race Sunday; a Junior Series, running back to back with the 3 race Series and the Silver Pursuit race following the final series race on Sunday.
Following the success of the pig racing evening on behalf of local Rotary charities, we are holding another on Wednesday 13th May, starting after 8pm; first race about 8:15 (but come at 7:30 in case you want to check out the form of the pigs before others get there). “Red Rock” is this week’s Real Ale.
All are welcome – bring friends; children are of course very welcome. You can bet (50p) on the pigs and/or be a pig race owner for £5. The 6 pigs will race on the flat, under the jumps, on a slalom course and there will be a special “Squealer” race to finish.
There will be a raffle and also a pig related bingo quiz and, of course, loosing pigs will be served up as a hot dog supper.
Following Saturday’s (3/4/2010) racing, results are now posted on the results page.
Congratulations to John, 1st place in both races and thanks to Nik for demonstrating how to drop a mast while still at sea.
Next racing, Sunday 11th April.
There can be no denying, even with the just plain weird weather that’s part of the global warming deal, that when sailing starts, winter is dead and buried. Sailing is making its presence felt at winter’s funeral next weekend with the first race of the season on Easter Saturday afternoon. See Race Schedule for details. Read More

The Cadets would like to extend a huge thankyou to John and Jackie Lawton for their very kind donation to us. We’re still working out what to do with it but they may be sure we’ll put it to very good use.
Thankyou.
Social Meeting: Thursday 22nd July, 7:45pm
