RS Development of Links With RYA /
Onboard
The first Onboard Festival of Sailing at Victoria Docks
in London was run By Steve Mitchell, RYA Onboard
Development Officer and saw 16 Fevas training and racing
during quite blustery conditions. Full Write up below.
Excerpt taken from RYA PRESS RELEASE
17th August 2007
LOCAL KIDS HAVE FUN RACING IN DOCKLANDS
28 youngsters from north, south, east and west London,
braved the high winds and horizontal rain at the
beginning of this week (Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th
August) when they took part in the RYA OnBoard Sailing
Festival held in Victoria Dock.
The youngsters, aged from 9 to 17, already knew the
basics of sailing from taking part in OnBoard beginner
sessions. The event was organised to take the kids
sailing to the next level introducing them to
competitive racing.
Started in 2004, the OnBoard programme is giving over
half a million young people in Britain the opportunity
to try sailing and windsurfing over the next ten years.
It does this by linking schools and youth groups with
sailing centres and clubs helping them set up sailing
sessions as part of school PE lessons, youth group or
after school activities.
Event organiser Steve Mitchell explains “Many kids have
been introduced to sailing through the RYA’s OnBoard
project and have taken part in OnBoard beginner
sessions. Keen to carry on their new hobby the festival
gives these kids the opportunity to try competitive
racing in a fun and relaxed environment. Through the
support of many dedicated volunteer instructors and
coaches we were able to keep the cost of the sailing
right down meaning everyone could join in.”

RS Tera update
- RS Tera race circuit culminates
in events at Plymouth Mountbatten Centre and Hill

Plymouth Sailing Week pre-amble, enabling local
Plymstock children to get coaching and racing in one
day. Hill Head saw 12 RS Teras for the first coastal

Yachting website and also on

- 4 regattas this year mean that
the RS Tera has set its sights on a fully packed
season in 2008.
- 2 Teras took part in the National
Schools Sailing Regatta with very good results for
their class. All the Schools groups questioned rated
the boat very favourably, with many expressing a
wish to return next year with a small fleet of Teras
instead of the more traditional classes.
- With more than 750 RS Teras
sold in its first year, this fun-packed little boat
is really starting to impact on the small boat
market. If you still do not know what the Tera can
do for you then please book your free demonstration.
