Are you looking for a new way to get outdoors and active or find something you can enjoy together with the family?
If the answer is yes, Up River Yacht Club in Hullbridge is inviting you and your family to come and try sailing/windsurfing for free on Saturday 13 May.
Whether you’re completely new to the sport or looking to get back on the water, RYA Push the Boat Out 13 May is the perfect time to give it a go.
This nationwide event will see hundreds of people taking part in the sport with open days and taster sessions taking place at sailing clubs and centres across the country.
“We’re inviting the local community to come down to have a go at sailing, see what the club has to offer and get involved. Who knows, you might just get hooked!” commented Ian Dawson the commodore of Up River Yacht Club.
Starting at 1pm on 13 May there will be a whole host of activities taking place both on and off the water including BBQ and club bar. Just turn up on the day and complete a simple booking form that one of the organisers near the river side entrance of the club will hand you. Alternatively, register on line and receive a booking form you can download and complete in advance. See https://upriver.org.uk/events/push-boat-event-river-yacht-club/ This saves you time and you can go to the head of the queue to get a sailing time slot in one of our ten boats.
Sailing can be as physical or as relaxing as you want to make it, you can sail with others or on your own, do it competitively or potter about and just enjoy the gentle escape of being outside in the elements.
