Standart Class Craig George Good to go!
Our popular "Come and Try" sessions are running from October 1st 2016! Click on the tab above ("Come and Try!") for all the details on how to come down and enjoy the wind and beach! Not until after 6pm......
As of April 30th the summer sailing times are with us again so sadly no sailing until after 6pm to comply with local byelaws. Cameras
Our new cameras have been installed! These are state-of-the-art cameras able to produce a much better resolution than can currently be seen but we are unfortunately hampered by slow broadband speeds until upgraded in our area. I think you will agree, what you can see now is a vast improvement on last year however. Many, many thanks to Anthony from Moore Broadband Solutions for all his hard work and continuing support, we do appreciate it!

Unfortunately the new season starts with the BLYC website cameras not working as well as they should.
We are in consultation with suppliers and normal services should resume shortly as we know you like to see who's doing what on the beach!

2014 Brean Member Derek George takes British Championship with son Craig coming joint second with Anglia LYC John Pickstone.
2013 BLYC's - Martyn Hale WINS the British Championship!This is a belated congratulations to Martyn Hale for his fantastic performance in the 2013 British Championships. ( the web master was asleep at his post ). Martyn sailed brilliantly to secure his first place, especially when you consider that Martyn has a 'gammy' knee and shoulder which really restricts his starting! But of course all the regulars at BLYC experience his 'Yoda' like sailing skill week-in, week-out. And we know he is a tough guy to beat! Well done Martyn... Hip Hip Hooray, Hats in the air... and all that stuff!

British Championship 3rd Round - Brean Regatta Results
By all accounts a VERY COLD weekend! With mostly marginal wind conditions coming from the North East at around 10mph made the sailing tricky but interesting. Top marks to Craig George for his great 2nd place. What a great result from one of our teenage members in challenging conditions! |
Eye Spy!
The BLYC website now sports the latest in LIVE wind metering as well as LIVE web feed! A big thanks has to go out to all concerned. This is a really useful addition to the club, especially for those members that travel a long distance to sail. Plus when there's nothing on TV you now have something to watch! The web cam is set up to look out of the club window! So arm chair land-sailing is now truly possible! The live wind data is viewable on the Wind and Tides page as is the live web cam footage. HERE

Girl power
They may be mini but Caroline Hart was almost very mighty. Racing to a fantastic Bronze medal position in the ladies Mini Yacht World Championship. It's obvious Caroline will have to start coaching at BLYC because there's going to be a steady stream of pilots asking to tips! Well done Caroline. All Hale the (almost) conquering hero!
Well done all the rest of the Brean Landyacht Club members that sailed in the 2012 World Championships (www.mondial2012.com). Especially Martyn Hale (Sailing Master) for his sterling effort in finishing the top placed British team member in the Standart class. With three top ten finishes Martyn's final place was 16th. Martyn was closely followed by Ron Frewin who finished 18th. And a special mention for Dave Green (not a BLYC member) who placed 4th overall in the Mini Yacht regatta. Well done guys! (Apologies if I've missed anyone's great achievement out!) |
