Ballyholme is an RYA recognised training centre and offers courses throughout the year to adults and cadets (age 8 and upwards) with sailing and power boat courses, including Race Officer, mark laying and many others. We also have a very buoyant cadet membership with over 40 youth sailors regularly training and racing throughout the year. We also run Dolphins and Sharks sessions on Friday evening during May and June, as well as numerous other family events such as the Corinthian Cup and Pirates Raid throughout the summer. BYC is also home to the North Down BSAC, our diving section, who provide training and diving throughout the year with facilities that are “second to none”. Ballyholme Yacht Club (BYC) is the home of champions and new sailors alike. It is run by its members, for its members, encouraging sailing, racing, diving, training, water based activities and social events. There is Club racing every Tuesday evening and Sunday afternoon from April to September and on Sunday afternoon Icebreaker Series through the winter for dinghies. Members are also welcome to race with our sister club Royal Ulster on Thursday evenings. Members also potter about sailing at any time – particularly when rescue boats are on the water for racing. Regattas are held most Saturdays through the sailing season in Belfast Lough and a number of Open series are held further afield such as West Highland Week & Cork Week. Ballyholme hosts, and members participate in, numerous national and international championships throughout the year. Many varieties of dinghy, day boat and yachts are sailed, including Toppers, Lasers, Picos, Bays, Waverleys, Squibs, Multihulls, Sports boats and Cruisers. Individual boats can be handicapped for racing so any boat can be included! There is a family class so the more people you have in your boat, the more points are awarded. Facilities include: Changing facilities. Dinghy parks & winter boat storage. Grounds for BBQs. Cadet/Training room. Jubilee Room – available for club and personal functions. Galley (kitchen).
