RYA Club Support Advisor Jackie Bennetts said: "We know the Dinghy Show really whets the appetite and stimulates sailors into starting the season earlier and sailing more frequently thereafter, which is a great reason for your club to get as many people as possible going along.

"As well as hundreds of boats, sailing brands, kit, gear, class associations, free expert talks and coaching sessions, there are also exclusive club events which can make a real difference to running your club. These events are also a great opportunity to mingle with other like-minded club members to share your success stories and challenges."

RYA Experts will be on hand throughout the weekend in the 'Ask the RYA' area of the Panorama Hall and will be able to answer any of your club related questions as well as providing advice on getting on the water.
