Welcome to the Bembridge Sailing Club Web site; it has been kept very simple and is intended to provide members with a useful source of up to date information. If you can't see a tiled menu then please check that your browser accepts javascript.

NEW! - double click on the calendar day below to find out what is going on (the full programme will be input soon!). If you do not see the calendar try updating your Adobe Flash (free) files available from Adobe Flash

To access the Members area at the bottom of the page, use the shortened christian name of the Club Secretary (lower case) as the User Name, and the year the Club was founded as the Password. This area includes membership application forms, subscription details and sections of the 2010 Year Book (including the programme but not the address section).

Many thanks to those of you who are using the on-line booking system (access via the "Social" menu above) for meals/Club events & WightLink tickets. If you click on the link you will get a simple form; when you "submit" it you will then get a confirmation link from Bravenet (ignore the adverts!) - just click "confirm" at the bottom of the page and it will end up at the office.

For those who prefer to use Red Funnel (Southampton - Cowes or Cowes - Southampton), there is a 10% discount if you access the Red Funnel on-line booking system through the "Red Funnel" link you will find under the "Links" menu above. So long as you use the BSC website link, the 10% reduction is automatically applied to the fares (each way) you will be offered.

Although it was a meetings weekend, it was actually surprisingly quiet. It was good to be able to welcome a number of our Advertisers for a drink on Friday evening - thank you to those members who came to help host. Rather disappointingly there were only 28 members for the Club Supper on Saturday evening - interesting, we normally have a larger turn out when it is the Redwing Winter Dinner!

Please note that the Shrimps page has recently been updated and includes details of the Easter activities and shrimps/Grannies Week in the summer.

No sailing, early/late tides. And finally, no new photos from last week so I have left the previous weeks for those who may not have seen them (the sharp eyed may spot that the caravans have disappeared from Vernon's picture of the start of Race 2 - clever stuff, well done Vernon!)
