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:

  • Safety
  • Participation
  • Competition

 

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:

  • Topper
  • Laser Radial
  • Topper Vibe

 

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,
