Club Week 2026 - entry for racing

Traditionally the highlight of the Racing and Social year, come along and join in the fun on the water. There will be racing from Monday 10th August to Saturday 15th August. There will be the following classes: Fast Handicap, Medium Handicap, Fireballs, Wayfarers, Lasers, Sprites, Mirrors, Short Course (including Topper/Tera/Fevas), Cruisers (Club and Fast) and Optimists. Some classes will be consolidated into the same start time. Each class will have a duty day, where competitors will be asked to complete a duty - please could you indicate on the registration form which duty you could do (select all that apply) and what days you are available. The week can only run successfully if everyone helps. The duty days shown are provisional and may be changed if entry numbers are different from what we are expecting. Please do register in advance as it helps us to plan and helps the Class Captains to know who is available to help with duties. It will also help if you can join the relevant BSC Whats App group if you are not already on there, since that is where duties are discussed and planned. All the Whats App groups can be found in the BSC community.
