$400.00

The centerpiece of the club’s racing program are the Wednesday night races. Three Series of 5 races each are run between mid -May thru mid-September. At the end of the year, awards are given out at the annual banquet in early November for each Series winners as well as awards for the Fleet Champions.

BHSC also provides a Tuesday racing program. One is titled China Light which is designed as a women’s teaching program. Certain parameters exist such as a female must be the helmsperson, she must be a BHSC member and there must be more women onboard than men. This is designed to encourage women to become actively involved in sailing and to provide as much racing experience as we can offer.

*Race registration is $200 if received prior to 3/1. Payment received 3/1 or after is $300. Payment received 4/15 or after is $400. Receipt of form alone does not constitute registration. Payment must be complete. 

 

 

US Sailing Membership – We strongly encourage all sailors to join US Sailing. US SAILING is the National Governing Body (NGB) for the sport of sailing and sailboat racing in the United States. Its’ mission is to encourage participation and promote excellence in sailing in the United States. US SAILING accomplishes this through volunteers and member organizations, supported by an administrative staff.

BHSC is a MVP member of US Sailing and as a result we can offer you a LOWER price for your annual dues/membership. If you have a single membership and pay US Sailing directly, you will pay $65 for the year. Via BHSC, your rate is only $55. Family rate with US Sailing is $115, pay via BHSC for only $85. BHSC receives “credits” that we use to purchase items from the US Sailing store (rulebooks, trainings, etc.) for all new and renewal memberships. US Sailing enrollments are pooled and sent to US Sailing shortly after May 1, 2022. If your US Sailing renewal is before May 1st, simply let US Sailing know you are paying via BHSC. US Sailing will adjust your renewal date accordingly.

The Campaign to Round Up is a donation to our escrow for capital purchases such as a new boat. It is not used for operating expenses. Please consider making a small donation- only $10 increases your membership cost to $65..well worth it. The donations add up over time and with many contributing!
