Stuart Mitchell from Dover Sea Sports says: “Following the success of
our Push the Boat Out day earlier this year we’re delighted to be opening our
doors once again for people to come and have a go.”
The taster sessions are supported by the RYA. Steve Mitchell, RYA regional
development officer for London and the South East says: "The Try Sailing days provide the perfect
opportunity to experience dinghy sailing for the first time or for people
thinking about returning to the sport. The adventure begins here so
whether you are an individual, a family or a couple the venue will have an
expert team on hand to take you on the water to help you have a fantastic
session, and will do all they can to ease you into the sport.
"London & South East has some fantastic
sailing venues which includes both inland and coastal locations. Our
sailing locations also benefit from having good road networks and public
transport so you are only ever a short distance from a sailing provider.
Our venues are both accessible and affordable with membership very often much
lower than an average gym membership, or a session pass less than the cost of a
family cinema trip.
"An RYA representative will be on hand at
the Try Sailing event to offer helpful advice and guidance on getting into boating
along with options of where to go next.
"If you are thinking about getting into
sailing, don't miss out on this event."
