Countdown to the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show
Still time to get tickets!
Whether you’ve never set foot in a dinghy or you’re a seasoned pro, this weekend (28 February-01 March) the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show, brought to you by the RYA, is the only place to be.
The annual show, in association with Yachts & Yachting, is held at the magnificent Alexandra Palace, London, with exhibitors filling some 12,000 sq. metres of halls with hundreds of dinghies as well all the latest kit and gear to kick start your sailing season.
Visitors will have access to a wealth of information and advice from the industry experts so you’ll leave a better sailor without getting wet!
Expert talks and coaching
Master meteorologist Chris Tibbs will be keeping the Suzuki mainstage a jargon free zone (12:00) with advice on reading the weather, Jeremy Warren and Phil Kirk will be recounting their record breaking adventure cruise around Britain (10:30) and BAR sailors Freddie Carr and Nick Hutton will be giving us an exclusive insight into the team’s America’s Cup campaign (15:00).
Meanwhile over in the coaching area, some of dinghy sailing’s leading experts and coaches will be sharing their top tips on a host of topics from getting started, to rig tuning, kit tips and racing rules.
Family day out
The show is packed with free activities to entertain and inspire the whole family including the RS Sailing Simulator and the RYA Magic Marine Trapeze rig. Younger visitors can also take part in the famous treasure hunt collecting clues and treasure around the show for the chance to win great prizes.
So you’ll find all you want to know buy or learn, all at the world’s only show dedicated exclusively to dinghies. We’d encourage you to use public transport to travel to the show. The RYA will be providing free shuttle buses which will be running on loop all weekend (9:30-18:30 Saturday and 9:30-17:30 Sunday) from Wood Green tube station and Alexandra Palace Station
