If you are under 21 at 1st October 2018 then the membership fee is $20 otherwise it is $40. The majority of the funds we collect from our membership fee (75%) goes to The Australian (ALCA) and the International (ILCA) Laser Associations in the from of affiliation fees. This enables these folks to run the iconic National and World Laser Championships and to administer the Class.

Current membership of a Laser District is required for sailors to enter in our district or any national or international Laser events.

For the limited entry ILCA World Championships the number of  members we have in Australia in all our Districts is used to determine how many entry places our sailors are offered.

Balmain SC are donating the dinghy entry fee from their annual regatta (first run in 1849) and to be held this year on 28th October to the Lane Cove 12 Foot Skiff Sailing Club towards the reconstruction of their boat shed which was destroyed by arson attack on 16th September.

Competing dinghies are encouraged to sail from nearby inner west sailing clubs which are all in easy reach of the start line between the BSC and Cockatoo Island. Sailors and friends are invited to our post-race Beer, Band & BBQ at the BSC in Water St, Balmain.

The Notice of Race for the event is HERE.  You can enter via the BSC web site or from the link HERE.

The focus will be on getting boats set up well, basic techniques explained and worked on, and getting the basics of getting that 4.7 up and boogying.
