Thanks for joining us on the Bradwell Cruising Club website.

 

Our situation in Essex-provides excellent access to all that the East Coast has to offer. There are the delights of the Essex and Suffolk rivers, the historic Thames and it's busy estuary and for the more adventurous Holland, Belgium and France are all within easy reach. The area has a proud history of training and encouraging new sailors, from the Walton Backwaters where the Swallows and Amazons messed around in their boats to HMS Ganges where more grown up sailors learnt their skills.

Our unique little club hosts events that we run throughout the year; ranging from shore based festivities to long distance passages. What ever your vessel, route or distance, we’ve got something for everyone.

2025 and my part in it !

As 2024 passes, it will be remembered as the shortest ever sailing season ! So much so that I need to resort to my diary to recall the few sailing highlights ! Refusing to venture out on the Heybridge Event due to the weather and getting neaped in Woodbridge due to the horizontal rain and the icy strong wind is what springs to mind !

Therefore 2025 is a great anticipation as surely it must be more suitable for us fair weather sailors ! ( awaiting comments from our motor boaters with their windscreen wipers view )

With a number of new members who will hopefully join on a few events, the future looks promising.

Also Jan our new Commodore, along with Rob as Vice Commodore, we have a different perspective to 2025, and hopefully a very successful sailing season.

The prog is varied including a Greek flotilla so get your diaries filled and booked on the BCC Website !

With the sun on your back, wind in your hair, diesel in your tank and the main set, 2025 will be fondly remembered !
