George Cheeseman, Head of Marine at Suzuki GB explains: "At Suzuki we're committed to supporting sailing clubs and helping the sailing industry. The RYA Dinghy Show presented by Suzuki, continues to go from strength to strength and is a fantastic platform for us to demonstrate this commitment.

"We will be displaying our market-leading range of ultimate four stroke outboards that are packed full of innovation and technology, which we're hoping will continue to be a real hit with show visitors (stand F10). We are proud to be working with our partner boat builders, Ribcraft and Rigiflex again, to offer RYA-specified safety boat packages too" he concluded.

Also continuing to support the show is Yachts & Yachting. The performance sailing magazine covers every aspect of racing, from Optimists through to offshore sailing, and is packed with unmissable advice from world class sailors.
