Welcome to Blackbeard!
Blackbeard Sailing Club, Ltd. is a private sailing club on Upper Broad Creek of the Neuse River in eastern North Carolina. Lat/Long is N35o 03.75 W76o 56.85. We are about 16 miles from the ICW 1AC marker off Oriental and close to New Bern.
This site is intended to give virtual visitors to Blackbeard Sailing Club an idea of the Club's facilities and the Club's wide ranging activities both on and off the water. It is also designed to give BSC members a further channel of communication and contact with the Club, and to provide links to organizations and sites of importance and interest to visitors and members. Whichever category you fit into, please feel free to look around both sections of the site. Within the members' section there is a password protected area but most of the information about the Club is available for all to read.
East Carolina Bank ICRC Team Regatta is coming in MAY!!
May 1 & 2 is the East Carolina Bank ICRC Team Regatta at Blackbeard. BSC has won this regatta in the past over arch rival Oriental Dinghy Club, and we can do it again this year. New this year is a couple of changes in the classifying of boats and in the Team Scoring. Make your plans to be a part of Team Blackbeard in 20101
No longer will experienced racers be permitted in the Cruising Class just because they have white sails. The ICRC scoring will be done in four classes: Cruising, Non-Spinnaker, Spinnaker, and >=240 Class, not in subdivisions of classes.
We need real cruisers out this year. This race is a great opportunity for new members to join the BSC racing scene!
Of course, we need a complement of Spinnaker boats. Will Brown Eyed Girl & Silent Pursuit be ready for spinnaker class in time? Ed, can you and Chris get the Santa Cruz to float by May Day?
Plus, we need Non-Spin racers (Compass Rose will be one) and San Juans and Catalinas for the >=240 fleet.
This should be the perfect time of year to be on the water. There ought to be some breeze, not too hot, pine pollen gone, no excuses. Make sure that you clean your bottom before the races. It really does make a huge difference. Slimey is not fast!
Notice of Race should be available shortly along with registration form.
Our Mission
"The basic premise of BSC, Ltd. is, and always has been, to promote the sport of sailing. The involvement of the total family ensures that this will never change. We've all rolled up our sleeves and the Club has come a long way in a short time. Yes, there is still much to be done. But that's okay because there is little doubt that those who have done the most have gotten the most from the club. The friendships made working and playing side by side during the past years will be lasting ones. Proof lies on Upper Broad Creek..."
