Sailing
What's it all about?
OB (OnBoard), developed by the RYA (the people who run sailing in the UK), is a programme to help introduce sailing and windsurfing as a sport for you – whatever your needs and ability.
Working with clubs across the UK, OB makes getting into sailing and windsurfing easy. Even if you live miles from the sea, you can experience the best of sailing on lakes, estuaries and rivers in your area!
Sailing and windsurfing have everything, from a cool and sociable relaxing leisure experience to high adrenalin, high-performance sport. OB gets you out on the water, teaches you new skills and lets you have great fun too!
