Junior Section

Children as young as 7 can participate in the Junior Club on Saturday mornings from the beginning of May. We operate four groups:

  • Beginners - first time sailors learning the basics.
  • Improvers - sailors who are improving their skills.
  • Racers - more experienced sailors who are preparing for race training.
  • Race team - experienced racers who we expect to represent Banbury Sailing Club at: Open Meetings; training for zone squads; team racing; and national schools competitions.

Parental assistance is required on all Saturdays. Prospective new members are advised that there is normally a waiting list for children wishing to participate in Junior Club.

Club Boats

The Club owns ten Toppers, three Optimists, two 405s, two Mirrors, six Laser Funs and four GP14s.

In 2005 we received funding from Sport England towards the purchase of race boats for Junior Sailors. We would like to thank our Sponsors (see on left) for their financial support - follow this link to an article in The Banbury Guardian.

Junior Social Events

Events are held throughout the year including

  • BBQs
  • Discos
  • Barn Dances
  • Family fun day involving water, children and parents

Club Race Series

Junior racers are encouraged to participate in the Club race series.

Junior racers have their own open meeting when they compete with junior sailors from other clubs. This is one of the 'Anglia Water' Series of races held at sailing clubs throughout Northamptonshire. The more competent sailors compete in the National School Sailing Association events. Results
