The Contender has survived and thrived for the last 40 years because it has benefited from an enthusiastic and dedicated class association.
The BCA and its international counterpart, the International Contender Association, are entirely voluntarily run members' organisations, and the only resources we have to look after the class and its interests comes from the annual membership subscriptions.
Without the support of all UK Contender sailors, the BCA will not be able to support, develop, or promote the class in the manner it deserves.
So if you own or sail a Contender, join us and help us represent YOU!

Home building is allowed. The fitting out of the boat is left open. The class rules are fairly simple and every boat must have an ISAF validated measurement certificate. |
