Social Sailing

BCYC evolved from as a dinghy racing club. Today's members enjoy both social sailing and cruising. The introduction of paddlesports including canoes, kayaks and stand up paddleboards means many members now enjoy all forms of watersports at the reservoir. The club has a growing group of enthusiastic social sailors who meet regularly go to cruising and sailing in company both at Cheddar Reservoir and at a variety of different locations.

Social sailors are welcome on the water at any time - there's plenty of room for everyone!

Every saturday from May to september - social sailors and improvers meet at 12:30 for an opportunity to be coached by an experienced BCYC member or RYA sailing instructor or Assistant Instructor.

We meet at 12:30 for a discussion onwhat to focus on and to drink tea.

Members have access to the water seven days a week in the summer and can sail use the buddy system to sail on the water when no club safety cover is operational.
