The RYA Dinghy and Watersports Show is always a highlight for us, and this year was no exception.

Setting up at the Farnborough International Exhibition Centre in the days leading up to the event gave us a fantastic chance to reconnect with both customers and competitors. It’s always great to catch up, share stories, and see how everyone is doing, but it also helps to reignite the energy of the dinghy and watersports market in the UK.

On the first day of the show, we had the pleasure of launching PolarWave, a fantastic new dinghy block manufacturer, of which we are now the sole UK distributor. It was amazing to see the interest from sailing and water sports enthusiasts in these new blocks, especially with their vibrant colours—after all, who doesn't love gear that matches?

Alongside the excitement surrounding PolarWave blocks, we had a great time speaking with so many Sea Sure customers about a variety of products, from rudder fittings to shackles. We also received lots of compliments on the overall style of our stand.

By the end of the first day, I can honestly say the entire Sea Sure team was leaving with high spirits (and sore throats!) after such a fantastic day. We were excited to see if day two could live up to the energy of the first.

After treating the team to a coffee from the exhibitors' café, we were ready to dive into day two of the RYA Dinghy and Watersports Show. The day flew by with so many attendees stopping by our stand. We saw plenty of interest in our universal joints for tiller extensions, along with many other Sea Sure-manufactured products.

It was exciting to see how popular our stand was, especially with the fun cornhole game we had running, where we were able to hand out prizes to the lucky winners. Next year has a lot to live up to!

Before we knew it, the show had come to an end, and it was time to pack up our stand and say our goodbyes to all our friends in the marine dinghy and watersports industry.
