ith the new season underway, we are working hard to


develop and improve our sport’s shop window.


Since its launch in 2015, our Get Afloat website has been very well received, and we are constantly generating new content, videos and activities to help drive people towards our sport and towards the clubs and centres that can help them get afloat. Feel free to embed our Get Afloat videos on to your websites and to use our resources to appeal to new participants. We have produced a wide range of content, covering all aspects of our sport from windsurfing to dinghy racing and yacht cruising, meaning whatever you’re interested in, we have developed a one-stop shop for all potential sailors. RYA Sport Development


Manager Duncan Truswell said: ‘This year is set to be an exciting one for our sport, so it is vital that sailing providers take time to develop their shop windows to appeal to potential new participants as best they can. ‘Finding ways of appealing to new


markets is essential for our sport to continue to evolve. We are working tirelessly to help clubs and centres by developing new resources and collateral. The aim of this is to help clubs increase participation and, just as crucially, retain existing customers and club members.’ For ideas, information and
