About us
BoASC is a friendly sailing club just up river from Bradford on Avon in a beautiful setting. Since 1965, we have been gathering on this stretch of the Avon river and enjoying the competition & friendly rivalry that comes from racing on a Sunday afternoon. Our Race Diary plus other meetings & events can be found in the 2024 Programme Tab.
WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING TO ATTRACT NEW MEMBERS FROM EXPERIENCED RACERS TO NOVICES – COME AND JOIN US AND HELP EXPAND OUR SPORT TO MORE PEOPLE IN WEST WILTS.
We have a Clubhouse with Dinghy Park for Members Dinghies. We also have a range of Club Dinghies (RS Vision, Laser, Laser Pico, Topper, & Optimist) that are available to Club Members for a notional daily charge.
In the springtime, we offer an introductory 2-day Week-end “Try Sailing” course to get you started – this is specifically designed for those people looking to become members of the club early on in the season.
We have the following classes racing within the Club: Laser, Rooster 8.1, Solution, Solo, RS 200, RS Aero, RS Vision, Mirror, Laser Pico & Topper classes.
We have taken part in Barts Bash each year and raised over £1,000 for the Andrew Simpson Foundation. BoASC is a double Bart’s Bash “Guinness Book of Records Race” Record holder:
