Chair's Welcome

Welcome to BUSA, the heart of University Sailing in the UK.

As the Chair of the British Universities Sailing Association (BUSA) I would like to extend a warm welcome to the BUSA website.

BUSA is a student-led organisation, dedicated to the promotion of sailing across UK universities. Whether you are seasoned sailor, or are new to the sport, our aim is to help our clubs develop and expand to give you greater opportunities to get out on the water.

This website, alongside our Facebook and Instagram pages - @BUSAMedia - will serve as a central hub for information about university sailing across the country. Here you will be able to access information about our BUCS Championship events, as well as events that individual university sailing clubs are running. You can also access an expanding collection of development resources and guides.

I encourage you all to take advantage of our resources, which span our four annual BUCS Championships, our development fund, our wealth of committee experience, and more. The committee hopes to be approachable to offer advice and assistance to anyone.

If you have any suggestions, questions, or concerns, please either email our Secretary, Karen Rawson, or myself. BUSA will always be here to support you, our members, and always values your input as we seek to provide as much support to you as possible throughout your time in the university sailing community.

We are determined to foster an inclusive and tolerant environment across all of our activities. Ensuring that everyone and anyone feels welcome as we strengthen the sense of community across our membership.

Keep an eye out for our committee members at events across the country wearing their BUSA Jackets - provided by our sponsor Rooster. Make sure to explore our relationships with both Rooster and KSail so that our whole membership can benefit from these great relationships.

The committee and I look forward to seeing you on and off the water at student events soon.
