Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 2:58PM So the first race of the season was cancelled at the weekend - too cold and miserable.
But we'll try again next weekend with the Spring Regatta and Shipwrecked Mariner. See you then.

Thursday, August 30, 2012 at 12:31PM In his review of the year, Junior fleet Captain Sam Stocks thanked the club and the boatmen for their help in putting on a successful year of junior racing at BSSC. In a year disrupted by poor weather early on, Stocks noted that the juniors had seem some record turn-outs. In all 55 juniors raced at least one race, with 23 boats competing in the Allcomers Grandprix. All 32 sailors won an ice cream at this event. 11 race series were held over the season, with 33 races held in total. 19 boats competed for the Oram Trophy. Sam wished Ollie Adams good luck in his year of captaincy. Sophy Lambert was elected as captain for 2014.

Saturday, August 25, 2012 at 7:53AM Well done to Tom Joice, George Chilvers and Sophy Lambert who took podium places in the Topper Trophy, fought over 7 races. In a 15 boat fleet the series was tightly fought with some tight battles on the start line. Ed Wightman won the Laser Trophy, sailing very well in all races. Prize giving will be on Sunday
Friday, August 10, 2012 at 7:05AM Sorry it's taken me so long to post these. It was an unusual series. The first day was blustery and we held a good race at Brancaster, but there was no wind on the second day so we towed through to Burnham. Thanks to out friends at BOSSC we held two races on day 3, a shortened course around Burnham and then a passage race through the marsh back to the finish line at Brancaster. The trophy was won by Sam Stocks in his Laser Radial, but the Topper class was very tight with Sophy Lambt winning by one point from Max Deakin. George Chilvers was next, followed by Henry Blunt, Bertie Stocks and Fitz Harding.
Tuesday, July 31, 2012 at 10:46AM Well done Lucy & Maddie for winning the Fun Race on Saturday. 28 sailors took part in the event, with the winners scooping sail for gold medals. Pictures are on the gallery.
In Sunday's Allcomers Grand prix we had one of the biggest Junior fleets of recent years out with 22 boats and 29 sailors competing. At the front of the fleet it was very close with Sam and Natasha Stocks just beating Max Deakin (Topper) and Craig Ransom (Laser Radial) on handicap. But the real action took place before the start when a violent thunderstorm caused a postponement and a world record 21 sailors manged to take shelter inside the starters hut (see gallery).
In the Junior varsity section Amelia Chilvers sailed a tremendous race but just swung wide at line buoy to allow Oscar through for a win.
Monday, July 16, 2012 at 4:12PM Congratulations to Sophy Lambert who won the Summer series races this weekend in blustery conditions. With two 1st places and a 2nd Sophy sailed well to win by a distance. Our next Junior race is on July 28th
Friday, July 13, 2012 at 3:38PM Hopefully you will all have seen a series of 5 races starting on Sunday July 28th, straight after sail training week. The programme is as follows:

The Oram trophy runs fro three evenings, starting on Monday 29th at 16.00. it is unique to Brancaster. On day 1 we race around the harbour. On day 2 (17.00) we race from Brancaster through the marsh to Burnham, leaving the boats there overnight. On day 3 (17.45) we race in Burnham before sailing or being towed back to BSSC. All juniors from both BSSC or BOSCC are very welcome.
