Welcome to Bantham Sailing Club

Founded 1933

​

Bantham Sailing Club

 Bantham Sailing Club was originally founded in 1933 with the aim of encouraging sailing for pleasure on the tidal estuary of the River Avon. We are a family orientated club and organise a programme of sailing and social events that take place over the summer season.

The Bantham Community Sailing Group , aimed primarily at children, begins in May offering free tuition and use of the club’s dozen sailing school dinghies.
​
During May, June July August and September we run sailing races The Spring series is in May and June, Points series in July and August, and Autumn
series in September. We also run a Spring  regatta in May, separate Gala Weekend in July, August Bank Holiday Regatta, and end of season regatta in September.
​
Check the BSC noticeboard outside the “Whiddons” on the right of the Bantham Estate cottages to see the full programme. And confirmation of race times.

In addition to our sailing activities we  have, over the years, organised a number of successful fundraising events and contributed over £120,000 to various local charitable causes including Hope cove Lifeboat and Coast watch.

New members are always welcome, particularly those living locally. If you, or any of your family, are interested in finding out more about BSC please contact our committee :-

Community Sailing Group

Get Involved

Our Community Sailing group was formed to engage with both young and old in the local community. Due to the kind donations from its members BSC has a range of boats for members to use who aren't fortunate to have a boat themselves. Training is also given to those who are new to sailing.
