The
Regatta House (Cas di Regatta), the home base of the “little” sailors,
is located on the boulevard in the center of Kralendijk. The BSSA was
established 16 years ago and then named the Bonaire Sunfish Sailing
Ass. with mainly Sunfish sailors and sailing fishing boats. At present
this has been expanded to include the youth club Optimist sailors (8-12
years), followed by the Sunfish sailors, for the ages of 12 and older
up to adults of all ages. The Cas di Regatta is a safe home port for
Cat and Lasers sailors as well. Therefore, the BSSA has been aptly
renamed the Bonaire Sailing School Association at its 10Th anniversary.
The BSSA is a non-profit association with more than 65 members. All
activities are being organized by volunteers.
An
extensive teaching program offers
you the opportunity on Bonaire to put sailing on this world class sea
into practice.
Lots
of activities are being organized, such as internal races, camp-outs
and special events, for example the Year End Race, where Optimist,
Sunfishes, Lasers and Cats compete with even local fishing boats and
the so-called micro boats (model boats)!
Cas
di Regatta is also the center for the Bonaire Regatta which is held
each October (www.bonaireregatta.com).
Whether
you are on Bonaire for a holiday or residing here for a longer period;
you can always take lessons, rent a sailing boat or participate in one
of BSSA’s activities.
We welcome you warmly!
