The world is developing, and the way we access and consume the sport of dinghy sailing is rapidly evolving with it. Join us at the RYA Dinghy Show on Saturday 2nd March, for the opportunity to participate in a session where we consider the future of our sport.

Following the recent RYA 'Future of Sailing' webinar series, Mark Jardine, Liz Rushall and Alistair Dickson will be taking to the Main Stage this Saturday to continue the debate and they are looking forward to hearing from you, the participants and volunteers who make it all happen.

The interactive session will also feature a panel of four young sailors, from Olympic medallists to ambitious amateurs and childhood enthusiasts that have fallen out of love with the sport. Audience members are encouraged to join in by submitting questions and voting on topics by using audience participation app, Sli.do.

The interactive Future of Dinghy Sailing session will take place at 12:30, Saturday 02 March on the RYA Main Stage. For those who would like to get involved we recommend downloading the Sli.do app before the session.

Visit www.sli.do or download Sli.do from the app store. To join the session use the code: #R585.
