B.S.S.C. – Junior Fleet |
|
The Junior Fleet at Brancaster Staithe has an
enviable reputation with consistently high participation levels; built-up
through the efforts of volunteers, the successful RYA accredited Sail
Training Programme and the support of the club. We have a full programme of racing, coaching, fun and social events from
March – September and operate on the principles of:
The success of the Fleet
is highly dependant upon parental and volunteer support, particularly for the
provision of safety boats and tows. It
is however recognised that not all parents will be
inclined and/or have the resources to support sailing activities
themselves. To assist the Club will
always help when it can and this generally works out on all bar the busiest
days. That said,
parents are ultimately responsible for getting their children on the water,
appropriately dressed, in a safe boat, to and from the start/finish
line. Club members aged 8 to 17
years, as at 1 January are eligible to participate in Junior Fleet races and
events. The Club encourages class
racing and has selected the following as the Junior Fleet classes:
Other classes are of
course welcome in eligible races as per Sailing Programme,
details of which are in the Calendar.
Please also check the BSSC Forum for updates, news and chat. New members are always
welcome, regardless of age or experience. Yours, Steven Arrowsmith 07900 684794 |
