Cadet and Junior End of Seasons

Thursday 31st October to Saturday 2nd November

The End of Seasons is a series of races held over three days. We plan to run two or three races each day depending on the weather.  It is open to Cadets and Junior members: All entrants need to be at least 8 years old, and less than 25 years old on 31st December 2024. All those who wish to enter must be confident river sailors with their own boats (For BSC sailors this means you were in Tango or MG training groups at cadet week, or you raced in the Reid Scott).

We anticipate that there will be the following classes:

• Optimists

• Topper / RS Tera

• RS Feva

• ILCA / Laser (all rigs)

• 420 / General handicap

We hope to provide on the water coaching for less experienced sailors.

We welcome visitors for this event but you must register in advance and there is a nominal charge; please indicate if you are a visitor on the form and you will be invoiced for the cost which you can pay by bank transfer. If you are a BSC Member there is no need to register online for this event, you can just turn up on the day.

However, if you can pre-register it will be very helpful in planning the event. It will also be very useful to know if you are able to help out as a volunteer: as always we need adults to help this event run smoothly; we need people to help launch and recover boats, we need a bridge team, and we need crews for the safety boats.

There will be a daily briefing in the lower deck approximately one hour before the start time shown below.

After racing on Saturday evening there will be a disco in the cadet room.

Note that all visitors under the age of 18 and BSC cadets under the age of 12 need to have a parent on site at all times (volunteering on a rescue boat counts as 'on site').
