BUSA is run for students by students our key focus is to provide the best competition and environment for sailing at university and college level.

Competitions kick off in November, when the first BUCS points can be won at the dinghy fleet racing, and culminate in a very busy Easter break with the Team racing and match racing finals as well as the yachting championships.
