Suzuki Marine competition - RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show RYA
As the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show / Suzuki Marine competition to win a brand new Suzuki powered Rigiflex safety boat for your club nears the half-way point there is still time for you to get your entry in to be in with a chance of winning.

The competition, which runs until 31 January 2016, is once again proving extremely popular with boaters across the country with thousands having already submitted their entry in the hope of clinching this fantastic prize.

Up for grabs is a prize package consisting of a Rigiflex Newmatic 360 powered by a Suzuki DF9.9A outboard plus a road trailer from Extreme Trailers in a package worth over £5,500 (RRP) as well as a VIP trip to the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show at Alexandra Palace, London, along with your friends or family, or a delegation from your club, as guests of Suzuki and the RYA over the weekend of 05-06 March 2016 to collect your prize.

“The competition, now in its second year, was originally launched to celebrate the launch of three new safety boat packages offered by Suzuki Marine”, explained Duncan Truswell, RYA Sport Development Manager. “Last year’s competition proved extremely popular and the prize has proved a real boon to last year’s winner Les McKee and his club, Greenwich YC, and so it seemed fitting to run it again and give another club the opportunity to benefit by winning this fantastic prize.”

Taking part couldn’t be easier, simply complete the online entry form by the 31 January 2016 and you could be in with chance of winning.

The Rigiflex Newmatic 360 powered by a Suzuki DF9.9A engine is one of three safety boat packages developed by Suzuki in partnership with Ribcraft and Rigiflex, to a specification agreed by the RYA to offer clubs standard packages that will cater for the prime needs of most clubs and training centres.

Alongside the inland/inshore Rigiflex, there is also a 4.8m inshore RIB and a 5.85m coastal RIB from Ribcraft. All three packages will be on display at the forthcoming Southampton Boat Show (11-20 September 2015).
