Watersports fun for youngsters at Southampton OnBoard Festival in July

Dozens of young boating enthusiasts from sailing clubs around Southampton and the New Forest areas are expected to come and take part in next month’s RYA OnBoard Festival 2019 at Southampton Water Activities Centre (SWAC). The event takes place on Saturday 13th July between 10am and 4pm. SWAC’s OnBoard festival is a day which celebrates kids who are part of the OnBoard Programme in the local area. The aim of this year’s OnBoard festival is to invite participants from neighbouring clubs and centres who have sailed in the clubs’ OnBoard programmes to come along to the Festival and take part a fun packed day on the water in a social environment with other like-minded people. The Festival will give children a great opportunity to sail at a different place to their usual home club, and to take part in some fun games and challenges. The day is for children aged 8-14 years old. Activities through the day include sailing challenges and games, Stand Up Paddle Board taster sessions, multihull rides and raft building. There will also be a barbecue. The Festival is set to be an amazing day and your children will come away from the event having had a brilliant day on the water.
