It's Summer here :)

We have beautiful weather here in Brancaster Staithe right now and it's set to stay, at least for a short while :D

Thank you Chris Spink (and all safety boat volunteers) for running 6 races over our open weekend for single handed and asymmetric boats. Congratulations to Will Ellison for organising such a successful weekend and for winning the Laser trophy. While plenty of BSSC asymmetric sailors tried to hold off our visiting competitor from Snettisham Beach Sailing Club, Mark Foley took the silverware. Congratulations Mark!

Full results are available on the website.

There is one place remaining for 6th and 7th July powerboat course. To book PB2 please use the online booking system.

As the weather becomes more conducive to beach picnics, our Harbour Master, Mike would like to remind everyone to: 1. please not overload your boats with more people than the CE mark indicates, 2. ensure everyone aboard is wearing a buoyancy aid, 3. wear a kill cord when the engine is running, 4. observe the speed limits.

Tickets have gone on sale for Sailing week 2024 and prices have remained the same as 2023!

We will be using a very similar online entry to last year. As always, if you run into any difficulties, please do get in touch either by emailing the_clubhouse@bssc.net or call us on 07747 597 902.

Ticket options are as follows:

Sea Fleet 5 day entry and 1 day entry

Harbour fleet 5 day entry and 1 day entry

Mirror adult and Child 5 day entry and 1 day entry

Cockle fleet 4 day entry and 1 day entry

Late entry tickets will be available after the other ticket options close on 4th August.

The quantity of tickets on sale is based on the availability of safety boat cover. Once tickets are sold out entrants will be added to a waiting list. Your place is confirmed when you have completed your payment and received an email confirmation. It is your responsibility to read the documents posted on the website

Tickets for the social events during sailing week will also be available online until 7 days before the event. After this time they will be available from the bar until 48 hours before the event (or until they sell out)

Non members are welcome to participate in Sailing week. In order to obtain access to online ticket sales, please email the_clubhouse@bssc.net with details of the boat you will be sailing (class and sail number) so that we can create a temporary login for you. You will also be able to book tickets for the social events using this login.

To buy your tickets:

  • Login here. Use the email address that you used for your membership renewal, if you have forgotten your password, use the "forgotten password" feature. If you don't get a password reset email, that you may be attempting to use an email address that we don't have associated to your account.
  • Select "Book Events"
  • Select "Open Events"
  • One day tickets are available under the individual day shown - just click the date and you'll be offered tickets for that day.
  • For 5 day tickets click the blue button "click here to book group tickets"
  • Please read the ticket options carefully and make sure you purchase the correct ticket(s).
  • You can purchase multiple tickets (e.g. if you have multiple family members entering).
  • You can purchase multiple single day tickets but if you are entering for more that 3 days, it will be cheaper (and simpler) if you buy the 5 day ticket.
  • If you navigate away from the ticket purchase before paying, you will find your tickets in the "My Invoices" which is located at the bottom of the Members Hub home page.
  • If you can't find your boat in the drop down menu or if you are entering in a borrowed boat, you may need to email us to have some details added to your membership account.

There will be a fabulous party in the marquee to mark the end of sailing week. We have secured The 29 Fingers to perform two sets and these will go on sale soon. This is where we launch our "Beds for Bands" appeal... We'd love to hear from anyone who has a spare bedroom that could be used by a band member for a couple of nights. They are keen to avoid passing on their accommodation costs to us and (if successful) this will be reflected in the ticket price for the evening.

Thursday 27th June: Open from 16:00 until 22:00

Friday 28th June: Open from 17:00 until 22:00
