Dovestone Sailing Club are hosting a Discover Sailing Day at the club on 7th May. This is part of the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Discover Sailing initiative.

It is your chance to get out on the water with an experienced sailor and see if the sport appeals to you. If you've walked around the reservoir and thought it would be fun to get out on the water, now's your opportunity. If you would like to book a place then contact the club commodore by email, Andrew Robinson: andrew.j.robinson@arcadis.com.

If after 'dipping your toe in the water', pun intended, you would like to take it a stage further there are a handful of places left on the weekend May 21/22 RYA Dinghy Level 1-2 training course. Level 1 is an introduction to sailing dinghies for complete beginners, covering everything you need to know to get afloat under supervision. Level 2 builds your confidence and develops your skills. By the end of this course you'll be a competent sailor in light winds.

Time to get out on the water!
