There are just three more days until the start of the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show 2014, when Alexandra Palace, London becomes the centre of all things dinghy sailing.

The show, in association with Yachts & Yachting, takes place over the weekend of 01-02 March when hundreds of exhibitors, in some 12,000 sq. metres of halls will be showcasing all the very latest boats, books, kit and more.

Being the only show in the world dedicated exclusively to all things dinghy, the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show is a dinghy sailors paradise, whether you're young or old, novice or pro, cruiser or racer; it's the perfect way to kick start the 2014 season.

There are some fantastic talks and presentations lined up with expert analysis and insight on the Main Stage, while over at the interactive Coaching sessions some of dinghy sailing's leading experts and coaches will be sharing their top tips on a host of topics from getting started and sailing fitness, to rig tuning, tactics and racing rules.

The halls will be packed to the rafters with some spectacular boats from the old time classics to the very latest in design, including fantastic displays from the Miracle and 505 classes, both celebrating special anniversaries, in the west corridor.

There are loads of activities for the kids too including the Holt Blow Boat Challenge, 'Bob the Buoy' Treasure Hunt, RS sailing simulator and much more.

There are also a whole host of competitions for you to take part in, where you could find yourself walking away with your very own dinghy! So if that whets your appetite then book your tickets today.
