About the Event
BCA is pleased to announce its 2025 Class-subsidised training day, ahead of the first Championship event of the season - The Sailing Chandlery Blaze Eastern Championship (12-13th April). Make a long weekend of it! Encouraged by a well-presented and well-received coaching and training performance by our very own multi National Champion, Ben Harden in 2024, we’re delighted to secure his expert services once again. There’s no one else on the planet who can better Ben’s winning Blaze-specific insight. As the 2024 trainees will tell you, Ben imparts his knowledge freely, with eloquence and clarity and has proven himself a coach with all the right ingredients to help draw the best out of you and your boat. You can expect a full day of classroom and on-water sessions with personalised boat set-up and tuning advice, how to improve your speed on the water, racing skills, tactical awareness and video analysis/debrief. The cost for training day is a fantastic value *£50*
If the training isn't great value enough, there's also discounted racing for trainees: Combined training and Sailing Chandlery Blaze Eastern Championship race entry - an awesome *£90* (Discount offer only available until 23rd March. Normal race entry only price £60).

Bacon/sausage bap breakfast on Friday morning.
Free tea and coffee all day in training room.
1-course Friday Bistro ('British Classics' theme) and Quiz night at RCYC
