One of the biggest and most active dinghy sailing clubs on the east coast of England, offering competitive and social sailing for all ages and abilities.
The club is one of the oldest, largest dinghy and certainly friendliest sailing clubs in the East of England. The Club is situated on the north east coast of Essex where the Colne Estuary meets the North Sea. BSC offers sailing in sheltered waters at all times of the tide for, dinghies, catamarans, and windsurfers and caters for novices to national champions. Complementing the terrific sailing programme is an active social scene that welcomes both new-comers and life-long members.

We have just completed our RYA youth course, more than 30 children received certificates and all said they had a fantastic time. The weather and tide was just perfect for teaching with light winds and very high tides.
The course would not be possible without the help of all of our instructors and volunteers, you really are a great team to work with.
We are urgently looking for volunteers to run breakfast on 18,19&20 August ⬇️
