Come along and support your darts team as it has its final match at home. The match is against the Preston Conservative Club and a win will ensure that we don’t win a prize (Wooden Spoon).

BCSC Regatta 2010

DavidHomer — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 10:49:11 +0000

Our Regatta will take place on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th June 2010 and be part of the Babbacombe Festival from Thursday 10th to Sunday 20th June 2010. This year we will not have Hooper & Wollen sponsorship, so now is the time to be thinking ahead to see if we can get an alternative sponsor and also decide the race format, entry cost and evening entertainments we would like to have.

Race Programme 2010 On-line

BCSC Site Administrator (kim) — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 14:03:47 +0000

This year’s race programme is now online (racing-schedule-2010).

There’s no doubt that in the summer we’ll get better sailing in the afternoon, once the sea breezes have had a chance to build so we’ve included some Saturday afternoon racing, just to see how it goes.

In an attempt to siphon some of the experience down to the less able parts of the fleet we’re including one buddy race in each series where an experienced sailor will partner a less experienced one. We’ll be discussing the details at the pre-season Cox and Crew meeting (Wed. 3rd March, 8:15pm at the Fore St. Club house).

The first race will be on Saturday 3rd April, 2:45pm start. Note …. Saturday … Because it’s Easter weekend and most people like reserve Easter Sunday for chocolate overdose.

And finally, don’t forget we have two Saturday working parties, 9:30-12:30, 13th March and 27th March.

Pre-season Cox and Crew meeting

BCSC Site Administrator (kim) — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 12:24:12 +0000

The sailing season is almost upon us. With this in mind there will be a pre-season Cox and Crew meeting at the Fore St. Clubhouse on Wednesday 3rd March at 8:15. Items for discussion are:

Buddy up racing. Nik proposes that one, or possibly more, race in each series be a buddy race where an experienced sailor teams up and coaches a less experienced sailor. We have a good idea how this should work but we’d still like to have a short discussion and allocate buddies.
Working parties. There will be 2 pre-season working parties, one on Sat 13th March the other on Sat 27th March, both between 9:30 and 12:30. Many hands make light work.
General discussion on all things racing; is there anything you’d like to change or add to racing this season.

Please try and be there if you can.

Winter Sailing Schedule, 2009

BCSC Site Administrator (kim) — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 11:46:18 +0000

In past years, sailing at BCSC has ended around September time. This year we thought we’d see how some winter sailing went down and we’re going to extend Sunday sailing to December on a fortnightly basis. This is very much an experiment based on no more than a straw poll of random members, the result of which was encouraging. If it works out, and if there’s enough support, we may look at taking it beyond Christmas.

Schedule

Sun 25th October – 10:40am start on the water.
Sun 1st November – 10:40am start on the water.
Sun 15th November – 1040am start on the water.
Sun 29th November – 10:40am start on the water.
Sun 13th December – 10:40am start on the water.
