BYC Cadet Week 2021

Friday 23rd to Tuesday 27th July (both inclusive)

Full details of this event can be found on the "Cadet Week" page on the BYC website - click here for further details.

Planning of the 2021 BYC Cadet Week will be subject to the Covid19 restrictions that may be in place at the time, but for now we have to remain optimistic that this event will go ahead.

Cost £155 per person if using a club provided boat, or £100 per person when using your own 'suitable' boat.

This fee includes snacks and refreshments throughout the day and a full evening meal.

Places will be limited to 45 students. In the event that this course is over-subscribed, selection will be made based on past year's sailing record where applicable (Sailing Committee discretion) - Cadet Week now fully subscribed - see highlighted message above.

Please scroll further down this page to register your "expression of interest" to participate in Cadet Week 2021

No deposit or payment required at present - fees will be invoiced nearer to the time of the event once we are certain that it can go ahead.

You will need to log into your Membership Portal to complete the registration process.

You will also be able to register new / first-time applicants ahead of submitting their application for club Membership.
