Dinghy Show 2014

The Dinghy Show 2014 – 1st & 2nd March

The Dinghy Show 2014 or rather the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show will be running at the Alexandra Palace the first weekend in March.  So what does the dinghy show 2014 have to offer the dinghy sailing enthusiast? It claims to be the only show in the world dedicated to dinghy sailing with hundreds of sailing clubs and associations, chandlers and boat builders, workshops and a whole raft of exhibitors, all under the one roof of the stunning Alexandra Palace.  Last year over 8,000 visitors walked through Palm Court and it is hoped this year numbers will exceed this figure.

At the Dinghy Show 2014 Team Cobalt, will be on show in Palm Court.  The small hydrofoil catamaran should excite the adrenaline junkies. Chat with the team and marvel at this 200kg, carbon fibre catamaran.

The RS Sailing Simulator is back again in the Panorama Hall. This full-size RS Quba simulator gives the sailor the chance to experience the feeling and movement of sailing in a controlled,  dry environment.

Another popular stand is the RYA Magic Marine Trapeze Rig.  The rig, specially designed for the RYA Dinghy Show, gives visitors the chance to try out harnesses and test their trapezing skills.

Some of the old show favourites are also back including the Holt Blow Boat Challenge, Boat repairs workshops, the Kids Treasure Hunt,  and in the Panorama Hall RYA experts on hand to answer any and all dinghy sailing questions you may have.

Alexandra Palace is situated between Muswell Hill and Wood Green in North London.  It has its own train station located at the Wood Green entrance to the Park. A regular train service runs directly from Moorgate (weekdays only) or from Kings Cross, changing at Finsbury Park.  Wood Green is the nearest underground station on the Piccadilly Line. (journey time is 20 minutes from Piccadilly Circus). Exit Wood Green Station and go to bus stop A to pick up the W3 bus up the hill to Alexandra Palace.
