Access National Championships 2008

A full report of last weekends Access Nationals held at the club is now available. There were many weary faces around the club yesterday from those that helped out, all I can say is a big thank you- we couldn't have done it without you!!

Burghfield Blast

Two weeks ago, 20 Boats competed in the Burghfield Blast - an afternoon of short course sprint races. As always, those who took part enjoyed some of the best racing around but, once again, many missed out.

Whether you are an experienced racer or you are new to racing, the combination of lots of starts and close racing has much to offer. Read the report form this year and from previous years to find out more.

Access National Championships 2008

Friday 11th and Saturday 12th July saw the club host the Access Nationals which were a huge success. Access Dinghies are designed to be sailed by people with disabilities and 22 boats of varying designs came to take part in the event.

Thanks should be made to both the competitors and the many members of BSC who made the event so succcessful, without either group - there would be no event! A full report will come shortly but in the meantime below are links to both the results and a photo album.

Access Dinghy Nationals

The Club is hosting the Access Dinghy National Disabled Sailing Championships for the first time on Friday 11th and Saturday 12th July. The regatta provides a high standard of racing as some of the sailors are aspiring to be selected for the 2012 Paralympics.

The Access has a ballasted centreboard ensuring the dinghy is difficult to capsize. The joystick can be controlled by hand, foot, chin or any moving body part, enabling even people with profound disabilities to participate in sailing.

Why not come down and watch some close-fought exciting racing from the Clubhouse and cheer on our Burghfield Sailability competitors.
