BUSA Team Racing Introduction
This page lists Cambridge results in the BUSA Team Racing Championships, now also a BUCS event. The event was first sailed in 1957 and has taken place every year since then. The Womens event started later and has not taken place in every year. Cambridge stopped competing in the Womens Championships for a while because they were held at the same time, and in the same place, as the main championship. That resulted in women sailing on the main team being unable to compete in the womens event. This changed in 2012 when the Womens BUSA Team Racing was first run as part of the RYA Womens National Team Racing Championships
Data Details
All the years listed below are calendar years. In the results columns ‘SF’ indicates Cambridge reached the Semi Finals, QF indicates an exit in the Quarter Finals. Results in the first eight of the open event and the first two of the women’s event are emboldened because the team members qualify for a Full Blue if they also sail in the Varsity Match.
