Social Events

Flotilla Sailing

Flotilla Social Sailing is for anyone and everyone in a boat, canoe or kayak, who wishes to be on the water in the company of others.

Depending on the weather conditions, the time and the tide, we will usually explore the harbour and stop somewhere for a picnic. Most years we hold three or four Flotilla Sailing days per month on different days of the week, some mid-week and some at weekends starting in April through until the end of the season. The dates and times of the flotilla sailing are listed in the Events Calendar.

Members will also be able to read about Flotilla Sailing on the BSC Facebook page. We typically have the use of radios so that we can keep in contact on the water and we will always have a BSC Patrol boat with us. A great help and it is reassuring to have this assistance as it gives confidence to the less experienced sailors! Having said this, sailors will need to take responsibility for themselves and be confident in managing their own boats.

Try Sailing

If you have never sailed before or have very limited experience, we are happy to arrange for you to be taken out by an experienced Club member. This could be either on a Flotilla Sailing day or a Race Day dependent on your experience or preference. If interested contact the Secretary on  blakeneysailingclub@gmail.com.

 

Kayak Trips

If you enjoy going out as a group, check the club’s Facebook page, if there is no chat about a paddle put something up and see what response you get. Its all about making the most of the tides Blakeney has to offer, in:-

  • Whatever craft you can paddle.
  • One of the best harbours in Norfolk.
  • In the best of company.

Please note these are informal trips not supported by patrol boats.
