Sailing Programme 2022

Dear sailor friends,

After two long years with limited access to our favourite playground, it is now time to envisage an enthusiastic “coming back”! I am sure that you are as eager as we are to resume our sailing activities and feel the sea breeze and sea foam onboard BlueOne, the CNCE dinghies, the valks etc. The CNCE Board, the BMC, the Dinghy team and the Valk team are happy to kick off the sailing season 2022 and share with you the new CNCE Sailing Programme which will continue to be enriched as we move on.

It is always a good time to share your sailing projects and propose new sailing activities to be shared with other CNCE members. Likewise, you are always welcome to join any of the CNCE teams and contribute in the smooth running (or better, sailing :) ) of your preferred sailing club, while making it even more dynamic, lively and rich in sailing events.

Now, it’s time to grab your sailing gear, a life vest, a jib sheet, a spinnaker barber hauler, a halyard, a tiller, release the mooring line … and resume our favourite game: drawing wakes on the sea!

Ready about?? Lee-ho!!

Best wishes,

The President & CNCE Team

A club of volunteers ...

Behind the scenes

CNCE’s activities are driven by the passion and time dedicated to it by all its volunteers: Board members, BlueOne Management Committee, skippers, Dinghy team, Valk team, lecturers and organisers of activities.

We are building a list of members who are committed to help out with a number of tasks (administrative, financial, boat maintenance, communication, event organisation).

Want to help out?

Log on to Twizzit:

Sailing club of the EU institutions in Brussels, accredited by the "Groupement des Cercles de Loisirs" of the European Commission. CNCE activities are open only to members of the club. For all activities requiring a financial commitment, registration is done on the basis of “first paid, first served”. After registration, reimbursement will only be possible if an adequate replacement is found.
