Tickets for the 2024 RYA Dinghy & Watersports Show are on sale now, and RYA Members can once again access a free ticket for one or both days of the Show.

The ever-popular event, held from 24-25 February 2024 at Farnborough International, celebrates the very best of the UK's small boat and watersports scene, and brings you all the kit, advice and inspiration you need to get your season started.

Whether it's dinghy racing or cruising, windsurfing, winging, foiling or paddleboarding, the Show is the perfect place to help you make the most of your time on the water.

From new boats, boards and tech, to holidays, must-have clothing and accessories, you'll find all the latest kit and advice from the biggest marine brands and industry experts.

And with interactive displays and demos, VR experiences, simulators, a model boat pool and the much-loved treasure hunt, you'll find something to keep even the youngest members of the family entertained.

"The RYA organises this Show to bring together the sailing and watersports community, and we can't wait to welcome everyone back to Farnborough," said RYA Director of Sport Development Rob Clark.

"Whether you're looking to discover a new water-based hobby, be inspired by a challenge or progress to the next level in your watersports journey, you'll find everything you need at the Show.

"We're grateful for the support of our event partners Sebago, ePropulsion and Rockley Watersports and media partners YachtsandYachting.com, Windsurf and Sailing Today with Yachts & Yachting and look forward to welcoming everyone through the doors in February."

RYA members can take advantage of a complimentary ticket* worth £21 for one or both days of the event. Non-member adult tickets start at £14.00 for a single-day ticket while children aged 15 and under go free with an accompanying adult.

*Due to the capacity of the venue, there are a limited number of complimentary tickets available for RYA members. These tickets are allocated on a first come first served basis.
