Balmain Sailing Club Activities The BSC Sailing School is part of the
Balmain Sailing Club - a community club run by volunteers. We’re
proud of our friendly, relaxed atmosphere. BSC yacht and dinghy races
are almost always followed by a delicious dinner and drinks - or our
famous sausage sizzle - at the Clubhouse. Check out the calendar to
see when we'll next be racing. New crew members are ALWAYS welcome,
and sailing school participants are encouraged to try out their
new-found skills on members’ boats. When you finish your
Introduction to Sailing course we’ll add you to our Crew Register
