When you admire all of the boats at the RYA Dinghy & Watersports Show, taking place on the 21st and 22nd February 2026 at Farnborough International, you may not realise just how many have been constructed, restored or repaired using PRO-SET® or WEST SYSTEM® epoxies.

PRO-SET Epoxy is used throughout the industry, extensively by Ovington Boats, for example in the Musto Skiff, OK Dinghy and Flying Fifteen classes, and also by Winder Boats for every class of dinghy manufactured, including the Fireball and Merlin Rocket.

It’s the go-to solution which the boatbuilders love as it is specifically engineered for high-performance, lightweight composite structures that can withstand harsh marine environments.

WEST SYSTEM repair kits are all-in-one solutions for marine fibreglass, wood, metal, and plastic repairs and will be available to buy at special show prices. They’re ideal for repairing cracks, scratches, and structural damage to boats, so having a kit to hand during a championship can be vital to keep you sailing if you have a collision or need to repair something in a hurry.

Knowing just what to do with it is key, and the team at Wessex Resins & Adhesives will be giving practical demonstrations of epoxy techniques using WEST SYSTEM products at midday and 2.30pm each day.

Have a question about a particular repair or technique? Just ask! The WEST SYSTEM & PRO-SET team of experts will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

You can find Wessex Resins & Adhesives on Stand H12, close to the central clubhouse, where the team will be happy to see you and say hello!
