Henry Avery from Husbands Bosworth, Leicestershire has clinched the first two tickets to the 2017 RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show in the #SailingSelfie competition.
By sharing his sailing selfie incorporating the 'I love Dinghy Sailing' sticker, Henry becomes the first winner in the Sailing Selfie competition which was launched at the 2016 RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show.
When we asked Henry how he felt about winning tickets to the 2017 show he commented: "I feel really excited to go back to the show as there are so many great things to buy and look at."
Hundreds of 'I love dinghy sailing' stickers have been given out and anyone with a sticker is now being encouraged to post their sailing selfie, alongside their sticker to the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show Facebook or Twitter pages using the hashtag #sailingselfie @dinghyshow to be in with a chance of winning tickets to next year's show.
If you haven't got an 'I love dinghy sailing' sticker yet, simply email with your postal details and one will be sent to you.
"We have given out hundreds of stickers so far and they are proving very popular in the boat park with lots of people sticking them to their boats," commented Charlotte Pearson, RYA Shows Co-ordinator. "Now we are looking forward to seeing all the amazing Sailing Selfies posted on our social media channels."
Taking part is easy:
- Get your 'I love dinghy sailing' sticker and take a picture with your sticker in the shot – on your own, with friends, on the water, or in the boat park – the options are as endless as your imagination! The more creative the better!
- Post your picture to the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show Facebook page or Twitter page
- Use the tags #sailingselfie @dinghyshow
Each month one sailing selfie will be picked from all the entries to win two tickets to the 2017 Show, which takes place over the weekend 04-05 March at Alexandra Palace, London.
The sailing selfie sticker competition runs from March 2016 to January 2017 – giving you plenty of opportunities to be one of our monthly winners.
