Each year hundreds of exhibitors fill the halls of Alexandra Palace with all things related to dinghy sailing for the RYA Dinghy Show, presented by Suzuki in association with Yachts & Yachting and Gill (03-04 March), from boats and kit, to gadgets and clothing.
Amongst the many stands are the Class Associations that represent the hundreds of different dinghy classes in the UK.
This year some 50 Class Associations will be exhibiting at the show providing visitors with insights into the class, the boats and the many activities they have lined up each year. It's also the perfect chance to find out how you can get involved.
As well as being able to drop by the many stands around the show, this year we introduce the new Class Association Stage.
Visit the Class Association Stage, located in the Great Hall, throughout the weekend, to find out all about your favourite dinghy classes and what events and activities you can get involved with during the season ahead!
"This new stage will be a great addition to the show, giving the classes even more opportunities to showcase their class. With so many classes lined up to speak on the stage it really does go to show how diverse and popular dinghy sailing is in the UK", commented Celia Edgington, RYA Shows Manager.
Classes will be presenting throughout the weekend so check the full schedule available in the Show Guide (page 13) or download the Dinghy Show App.
