The boat show is over for another year and the Little Ship Club stand offered visitors the chance to join the Club and meet illustrious guest speakers, including president Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, Atlantic rower Sally Kettle, and round the world racer Alex Alley. 

Discount training for new members

New members signing up at the show or within two months, will receive a 50 per cent discount on an RYA or other one-day course they do at the Club, such as Diesel, First Aid or Radar. The discount is valid for two years from the start of membership. More information on membership rates here.

The Club will be promoting some of its special events for 2010 including the cruise to Ireland and regular dinghy sailing opportunities in London during the week.
