Do-it-yourself Oppies make the most of OB grant
Building an Oppie Members of Pennine Sailing Club (PSC) are using their OB grant to its fullest extent by building their own Oppie fleet – with a lot of help and advice from a neighbouring sailing club, and the enthusiasm of adults and children alike.

How have they achieved so much?

New suppliers to support OnBoard
Dinghies at the Dorset Festival We are pleased to welcome Laser and RS, joining Henri-Lloyd and Harken as official suppliers to OnBoard. We look forward to working with them and receiving their support in running the OnBoard Festivals later in the year. To find out what they can offer OB clubs and centres, contact Dan Jaspers at RS and John Leech at Laser.

Two more ODOs get going

Sailing through the snow
Everyone posing for the picture - inside Nineteen brave and hardy young sailors turned up on a very cold and snowy November Sunday to take part in an on-water training session with Peter Aitken, UK National Mirror Squad Coach, and then participate in Sutton Bingham Sailing Club’s afternoon racing.

How did they keep warm enough?
