SEASONAL UPDATE
After a successful, socially-distant sailing program in 2020, we plan to be back to our regular sailing instruction programming for our 25th Anniversary Season in 2021!
Check back in late spring for more details and join our mailing list (see bottom of page) to stay in touch over the winter months.
AWARDS & ACHIEVEMENTS
Each summer, the BTB instructors select one person as the “Sailor of the Summer.” The award recognises a sailor whose dedication, growth in confidence, and improvement in sailing skills set them apart. The winner’s name is engraved on the Indian Head Bowl, the gift of Nigel and Judy MacEwan, and the winner retains the bowl until the end of the following season.
Throughout each season, the Dudley Awards are presented to individuals who have distinguished themselves in some fashion. The awards recognise both the serious accomplishments of individual sailors, and some of the more frivolous.
