If you're aged between five and 16 then you could be in with a chance of winning a 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity to personally wish the British Sailing Team 'good luck' in the lead up to the 2020 Tokyo Games.

All you have to do to be in for a chance to win is design and create a 'good luck' card that will really inspire and encourage the sailors when they take to the water to compete this summer.

The winners will be invited to the RYA Dinghy Show, in association with Yachts & Yachting, to personally deliver their card to a member of Team GB.

"We're looking for bright and colourful creative entries which will really catch the eye of the judges" explains RYA Shows and Promotion Manager Celia Edgington. "Cards can be any size, shape and as inventive as you like but must be able to be delivered in the post".

The competition is open to individual entries and will be judged across three age groups: 5-8 years, 9-12 years and 13-16 year olds. The winner of each age group will win:

  • VIP tickets to the RYA Dinghy Show at Alexandra Palace, London (for the winner and their family)
  • A special meet and greet session with sailors from Team GB and the British Sailing Team, so you can ask them all your burning questions
  • Plus an RYA and British Sailing Team goody bag

"Entries have already started to come in and the standard has been extremely high so I know that judging is going to be a tough job. However there are still a few weeks to go and I know the messages will really make a difference to the sailors and the support makes a huge difference to the whole team" Celia concludes.

Once you have created your card, please post it along with the entry form that you can download here to: RYA Dinghy Show Card Competition, RYA House, Ensign Way, Hamble, Southampton, SO31 4YA. Entries must be received before 14 February 2020.
