Drop by the LaserPerformance stand (G10) at the RYA Dinghy Show, in association with Yachts & Yachting and Suzuki (2-3 March, Alexandra Palace, London) and see if you've got what it takes to beat one of the British Sailing Team in a 'Hike Off'.

Visitors to the stand will have the chance to take on British Sailing Team Laser sailor Sam Whaley in the hiking challenge. Taking place all weekend see if you can beat Sam's time and set the best time of the day and you'll be in with a chance of winning some exclusive LaserPerformance prizes.

"It's going to be tough but it will be great to see the determination of everyone taking part looking to beat Sam's time and claim the winners crown", commented Dan Slater, Sales Executive, LaserPerformance.

As well as the hiking challenge the LaserPerformance Fleet Sales team would like to invite Sailing Clubs, Sailing Schools and Sailing Resort Companies to join them on their stand at 4pm on Saturday 02 March for a chance to meet the team and talk about the support LaserPerformance can offer in 2019.

Join them for a glass of wine, some nibbles and a chat about the lending of boats, fantastic offers, including the 2019 12K deal, 0% interest finance options and event support.

"LaserPerformance have been attending the RYA Dinghy Show for six years and it is a great place to meet with so many people with a passion for dinghy sailing.

"We pride ourselves on supplying quality, safe and innovative boats across the world. So whether you're a family that wants to learn the basics of sailing, or an athlete competing against Olympic-class sailors, LaserPerformance has a boat for you", Dan added.
