If you love foiling then drop by the WASZP stand (C14) at this year's RYA Dinghy Show, in association with Yachts & Yachting and Suzuki.

Taking place over the weekend of 02-03 March at Alexandra Palace, London, the show is the perfect place to find out more about this exhilarating class.

The WASZP is an exciting foiling one design single hander, which is affordable, modern, durable and perfect to learn in, bringing a new dimension of fun to your sailing.

The WASZP offers a choice of two rig sizes, with options for 40 to 100 kilo sailors and is great whatever your skill level, from complete beginner foiler to advanced racers.

Each year the class holds a Nationals, Grand Prix circuit, as well as Slalom and Sprints alongside a vibrant social scene, getting together for class sailing weekends just for fun and sharing ideas.

The class is also passionate about promoting women's sailing and has an all-female race team for this year's Stadium event of Slalom and Sprint racing at Hayling Island SC.

"The WASZP is a great boat for all ages from 15 to 50 plus. It is ideal for the youth sailors moving on to an adult class. We have many Oppi, Laser and 29er sailors who have made the transition successfully. While our adult sailors have literally come from every class of boat who looking for a new dimension to their sailing", commented Victoria Payne, WASZP Manager.

"The new larger foils in the rule change also means that the boat now flies earlier in lighter wind speeds", Victoria added.

Drop by the WASZP stand (C14) throughout the weekend and meet Victoria and fellow WASZP sailors to find out more about the class, the racing and how you can get involved. The team will also be joined by a representative from Sailingfast who will be on hand to help you purchase your new boat.

You can also hear more about the WASZP class on the Class Association Stage at 16.00 on Sunday 03 March.
