University Sailing Clubs (USCs) membership to BUSA entitles a university to compete at 'British University College Sport' Championships. Membership also provides club affiliation with the RYA, necessary for sailors to compete in any event governed by the Racing Rules of Sailing. See University Sailing Club Membership of BUSA.
USCs are apportioned to "Areas", aimed to ensure balance and proportion in the teams competing in the Team Racing Qualifiers.
There is an Area Chair within the BUSA Committee, elected annually to supports, and liaises with USCs, providing a route for communication with the BUSA Committee. We encourage USCs to provide us with up-to-date information about their Club and activities. If you have information to add, please be in touch with the BUSA Secretary.
Scottish Student Sailing was founded in 2012 from the former Scottish Universities Sailing Association (SUSA), and three distinct competitive styles make up the sailing year, in the shape of Team Racing, Match Racing and Yachting. As well as racing, Scottish Student Sailing also supports training of all levels and beginner activities.
The
