Thousands of people of all ages and abilities took to water across the UK during May to experience sailing and windsurfing with RYA Push the Boat Out. Nearly 400 clubs and centres across the UK opened their doors to the public, including some 52 in London and the South East Region.
New research by the RYA shows that a quarter of people have never tried an outdoor pursuit, yet two in four want to be more active and nearly a third want to get more fresh air.
Scott Wilkinson from Tenterden, Kent, a member of Rye Harbour Sailing Club, is one of ten promising young sailors from across the UK revealed as the winners of the RYA Regional Youth Champion Awards.
