Night Jar B2
Well, Thursday’s Night Jar wasn’t one of Bass’ finest evenings to be sure! But it worked out ok in the end. Despite no regular Safety Cover, the OD was able to use a line from the race office on a reaching start with a course 3-5-0.… Read full article “Night Jar B2”

RS Vareo National Championships
This weekend the RS Vareo Nationals are being held at Bassenthwaite, the home club of the defending champion, our own Vice-Commodore Mark Somerville.

With heavy overnight rain, gusting winds, and a lot of apathy at the sight of the tops of the breaking waves, the prospect of getting anybody to take to the water seemed low despite AJ merrily rigging his newly acquired GP.… Read full article “Alone again..”
Triathlon
AJ always puts on a smile as he practices his dance routine. Is that what he should be doing while marshalling traffic?
Another grateful visitor
I am a parent from Queen Mary SC and I am writing up a small report on our team’s experiences at the NSSA at Bassenthwaite last week.
They all had a fantastic week – the place is beautiful and the Bass members worked so hard to make it a great event.… Read full article “Another grateful visitor”
Many thanks to you all
Hi to you all at beautiful Bassenthwaite Sailing Club,
