The Albacore Sailing Dinghy is once again on show at the RYA Dinghy Show taking place at Farnborough this weekend. Enthusiastic members of the Class Association will be on hand throughout the weekend to show the latest demo boat and answer any questions.

The boat is located on stand A10 - just as you enter the show - lookout for the AL on the white sails! Why not call over and see just what makes the Albacore so popular with all ages and abilities.
