RYA Scotland's Big Weekend will be even bigger and better in 2012. It is a fantastic opportunity for everyone to catch up with everything sailing, windsurfing and powerboating.
The programme will be slightly different on each day so we hope to see lots of people making a weekend of it! Some of the things included on the programme are the Yachtmaster Instructors' Conference, Race Coach Level 2 updates, Race Officer courses and Continual Professional Development workshops for instructors and windsurfing. We will also be giving updates on some of the RYA programmes that we have been running such as Team 15, OnBoard, Olympic Activation and Volvo Champion Clubs.
Sign up now, day tickets for the Big Weekend are £25 per day but if you register early then you can save some money on our Weekend Ticket offer. We only have 30 weekend tickets on sale so you will have to be quick to get one! The weekend offer is only £85 which includes your ticket for both days of the Big Weekend, your accommodation on Saturday night at Inverclyde and also a place at the RYA Scotland Annual Awards dinner on Saturday night.
We will also be running the RYA Scotland Boat Show for the first time in 2012. Entry will be free for everyone including those not attending the Big Weekend activities. There will be lots of stands selling their wares and services so be sure to come along for a look and to check out all the bargains on offer. A fantastic highlight of the boat show will be the RYA 'Our Sporting Life - Sail for Gold' Olympic heritage exhibition. Check out our RYA Scotland Boat Show page for more details.
