Sailing programme for 2011

The Tides for 2011 provide the opportunity for a fairly extensive programme this year and the club offers a full racing programme, when tides permit, for most weekends from April until October as well as a variety of non racing sailing activities during summer.

During the 7 days commencing Monday the 1st August a series of sailing and social events will be arranged. This is an opportunity for all members to sail in company purely for fun and enjoyment. The North West Norfolk Week race will take place on the Wednesday commencing at 08:30.

Last year’s bike ride, tennis tournament, guided walk and aquatic treasure hunt will be supplemented by the inaugural BSC versus Cockles & Oysters cricket match on the top field at Friary Farm caravan park. Sailors who can bowl a maiden over will be in great demand! Please volunteer your services to your respective Commodore

 As usual the racing programme includes the visit of the North West Norfolk Sailing Association on the 3rd of August and the International 14s on the weekend of the 18th of June.  The Blakeney Regatta and the Morston Regatta take place during a very busy August.

 Let’s hope for some fair winds and warm weather for an enjoyable seasons sailing.

A wide variety of boats are sailed by the club. From the sophisticated Phantoms and RS class boats to the more traditional classic lines of the Blakeney One designs and Cockles with their strong association with the North Norfolk coast.

Whatever you sail, the excitement of an early race followed by refreshments in the club house or a relaxing evening sail to the Point with a visit on your return to one of the fine pubs in the village, Blakeney has it all.

The club is keen to encourage new members, if you have not tried racing before, Blakeney is the ideal place to learn. The impression that racing is the domain of the serious expert is just not the case at Blakeney. The spacious harbour is the ideal venue to learn, with safety boat cover and a wealth of local knowledge to tap into why not give it a try. The skills learned will also come in useful for those trips out to see the seals.
