Sam Whaley - Dinghy Show Host for 2020

We're really pleased to see that sponsored sailor Sam Whaley has been announced as a 2020 RYA Dinghy Show host alongside Sarah Ayton.

Last year we had Sam on our stand providing advice (and Haribo) to all stand visitors talking everything Laser. We also had a competition to win a days coaching with the Laser National champion and British Sailing team sailor which went down very well.

Here's what Sam had to say - “It’s a real honour to be hosting the Dinghy Show alongside an Olympic Gold Medallist” Sam commented. “The show means so much to me, whether it’s seeing all the new and existing boats, entering all the competitions on all stands as a kid or simply finding out a lot more about sailing”.

Read the official Dinghy Show press release from the RYA.

The RYA Dinghy Show is a fantastic day out and we really recommend you attend, people travel from all over the country. If you think it's too far why not arrange a coach trip for your fellow sailing club members.

Come and See Sailing Chandlery

In 2020 the RYA are moving the show around which means our stand has to move into the great hall, we'll again be partnering with our friends at Zhik and you'll find us in the back corner.

Watch out for competitions nearer the time where we'll be offering free tickets as giveaway items.
