Visiting the Southampton International Boat Show this year? Head to the RYA (stand J120) for the advice and information you need to make the most of your boating.

We're unveiling our new Official Innovation Partner and discussing the future of electric boating on Friday 15 September. Join us at 12:15 when all will be revealed.

On Saturday 16 September, Rob Clark, RYA Director of Sport Development teams up with Dee Caffari on the Foredeck Stage (16:00) to talk all things 'Together on Water', our vision for the future of boating as a connected, inspired and inclusive community.

Keep your eyes peeled for British Sailing Team stars around the show. Athletes from the world's most successful Olympic team, including Saskia Tidey (Sunday 17), Rhos Hawes (Monday 18) and Sam Whaley (Tuesday 19) will be taking to the Foredeck stage to reveal their tips and tricks.

Thinking of taking your Yachtmaster® ? Richard Falk, RYA Director of Training and Qualifications discusses the scheme on the Foredeck stage (Monday 18 September, 13:00).
