If you're visiting the London Boat Show (10-14 January 2018) make sure you get your New Year fix on everything boating and pay a visit to the RYA stand WB034.

On the stand

The RYA has a wealth of knowledge and information available for visitors, from getting out on the water with the whole family, to improving your boating and finding the right training course for you.

RYA Shows and Promotions Manager Celia Edgington said: "We're really looking forward to returning to the London Boat Show which provides a fantastic opportunity for us to meet members of the boating community.

"On the stand you'll find RYA experts ready to share their advice and answer any of your questions from boating abroad or buying a second-hand boat or simply find out more about all the great offers available to RYA members from over 50 member reward partners.

"This year the London Boat Show also features the Boating & Watersports Holiday Show, so if you're inspired to escape the UK then why not find out about the 696 RYA Training Centres aboard where you can get your qualifications with guaranteed sunshine!" Celia concluded.

As well as the useful free available advice on the stand, you can also pick up your RYA publications with a 20% boat show discount for RYA members. On the stand you can trial the ever growing series of eBooks, with their interactive content great for enhancing your skills or to prepare for an exam.

The brand new RYA Weather Handbook will be one of the many titles available to take home and you can also enter a free prize draw to win a Dryrobe™ so you can stay warm and dry in all weathers. Visitors of all ages can also test their skills on the RYA knot wall.

And finally, don't forget to join us on the stand on Wednesday 10 January when we reveal the winner of the prestigious RYA Yachtmaster™ of the Year award. The winner of the esteemed annual award will be recognized for demonstrating outstanding skills and knowledge as a skipper and will have exhibited their outstanding expertise during their Yachtmaster exam.
