With less than a week to go until the doors open for the RYA Dinghy Show, there's a whole host of competitions not to be missed with some amazing prizes up for grabs.

Win a safety boat for your club

Before you even get to the show, don't miss out on the chance to win a brand new Suzuki powered Rigiflex safety boat and trailer for your club worth over £5,400 (RRP). To be in with a chance to win all you have to do is buy an advance ticket to the show (before midnight on 01 March) to be entered into the prize draw.

The winner will be announced at the show and asked to nominate the affiliated sailing club of their choice to win the Rigiflex Newmatic 360 powered by a Suzuki DF9.9AS engine with a EXT500 Super Roller from Extreme Trailers. Find more information about the competition here.

Win a Topper

At the RYA Dinghy Show this year we're marking 100 years of Ian Proctor and as part of the celebrations, Topper International are giving you the chance to win a brand new boat with their Activate your Topper competition.

The brand new Topper will be on display in amongst some of Proctor's earliest and most loved designs- visit the West Corridor to find out how you could win.

Win a Gold Glide Free Foil

To tie in with the launch of the new RYA Foiling course we're giving you the chance to win a Gold Glide Free Foil, courtesy of Glide Free Foils worth £3,000.

To take part, head to the Panorama Hall at the show, complete the entry form, pop it in the box and you'll be entered in to the prize draw. It's as simple as that! Competition closes on 30 April 2018, with the winner announced shortly after.

Also up for grabs is a two hour taster for one of the RYA's brand new foiling courses in sailing or windsurfing plus your very own Spinlock AERO PRO 50N flotation vest designed for high agility sailing. Follow the Dinghy Show Facebook and Twitter on Saturday 03 March for your chance to win.
