The Royal Yachting Association’s (RYA) ‘Push The Boat Out’ initiative is back for another year, with free sailing and windsurfing taster sessions for everyone across the UK throughout the month of May.
The initiative launched in 2011 and has since proved to be a big hit in getting more people to take to the water.
The 2018 event will take place throughout the whole of May and will see clubs and centres across the UK, including many in and around London, holding open days and inviting those who live locally to come and ‘have a go’ at sailing and windsurfing
All kit and safety equipment is provided and no experience is needed.
Refreshments will be available at many Push the Boat Out events, with a host of shoreside activities and entertainment for visitors to enjoy.
“I got into sailing through my local sailing club so it’s fantastic to see so many people given the opportunity to discover what the sport’s all about right on their doorstep,” said Saskia Clark, who won a sailing gold at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
“If you want to inspire your non-sailing friends and family to giving sailing and windsurfing a go, make sure you put Push The Boat Out in the diary.”
