The official launch of Sunsail’s Funding the Future initiative for 2025 will be held this Sunday, 23 February, at the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Dinghy and Watersports Show, at 1pm on the Sunsail Main Stage. The award scheme is returning for a second year running, to offer sailing charities, RYA sailing and yacht clubs, and British Universities Sailing Association (BUSA) members across the UK a chance to win up to £6,000. The judges are also keen to see entries that detail projects aimed at enhancing sustainability in sailing clubs, ensuring lasting benefits for both the environment and their members. “To fall in love with sailing, you need to be inspired and encouraged by someone who shares that passion. “We know sailing clubs are the backbone of the sport, often driven by dedicated volunteers who create opportunities for young sailors to get out on the water and develop their passion.
