Club gets Volvo Championship
status
Burwain SC is very proud to have
been awarded Volvo Champion Club status. The club
has worked very hard over the last 3-4 years, establishing
our junior Sailfish Club
to introduce young sailors to sailing and help them
to develop into competent junior racers
Burwain SC presented with the VCC
award by Hannah Mills & Sasha Clarke, Britain's
470 Olympic Team
Sailfish has grown consistently each
year from it's beginnings in May 2008, to the stage
where we now have our own Junior Series races running
almost every Sunday from March through to October.
Our development over the last year has seen 1 sailor
in the RYA's West Zone Squad, another in the Topper
4.2 National Squad, and 7 or 8 more competing regularly
in the NW Topper and Junior Traveller series (as
well as various Topper National events and World
Championships, and well-known events such as the
Southport 12 and 24 hour races, Abersoch Mirror
and Dinghy weeks etc)
The award of Volvo Champion Club status both recognises
how well our junior sailing has developed at Burwain,
and also helps provide the impetus for further development
of junior sailing in East Lancashire. The support
we have received as part of the Volvo Champion Club
programme has helped us introduce additional race
training and coaching for the 2012 season, which
will contribute significantly to our juniors' continued
success in local, regional, and national events,
and in competing for selection for RYA junior squad
places. The association with such a highly regarded
and respected brand as Volvo will help us to keep
attracting new groups of youngsters to our fantastic
sport, and we would like to thank both the Volvo
Champion Club programme and the RYA for their support
Sail racing progam for
2012
The 2012 racing program
