RYA Dinghy Show

The RYA Volvo Dinghy show, on the 5th and 6th of March at Alexandra Palace in London always heralds the beginning of the new sailing season and provides an excellent opportunity for sportscotland’s National Centre Cumbrae to fly the Scottish Flag as we team up with the  Scottish Sailing Institute

The show is always really busy with a good mix of Class Associations and RYA recognised training Centres. For The Scottish Sailing Institute the show provides an excellent opportunity to meet with the many different dinghy classes all pulled together under on one roof. David Kent has a  busy weekend of meetings aimed at encouraging the many classes represented at the show, to bring their sailing events to Scotland. .

For Cumbrae the focus of the show is on meeting the public the stand always becomes a magnet for people from Scotland , The whole atmosphere is very friendly and the show gives you a feeling that you are part of a close knit community. Cumbrae has been coming to the show for many years now, and it is great opportunity to catch up with friends old and new.  If you are visiting the show we would be delighted if you were to come along to our stand (F30) to spin a yarn or just have a chat. We look forward to meeting you.
