Marina: Swanwick
Berth Holders at Premier's Swanwick Marina are invited to come together on Saturday 21st July to take part in the RYA's National 'Push the Boat' Day and enjoy a Berth Holders' Party in the evening.
This unique event aims to promote sailing to the nation and to show support for our Olympic and Paralympic sailors prior to the London 2012 Games.
Olympics aside, the event will be a great opportunity for Premier Berth Holders to have fun on and off the water - boat owners are invited to 'dress' their boats to mark the special occasion - so let your imagination run wild!
Local training school, Bespoke Yacht Services will also offer Berth Holders at Swanwick Marina the chance to take part in close quarter 'own-boat' tuition. Please note that these workshops are organised in two-hour slots at the cost of just £30 per boat and Berth Holders are expected to reserve a slot prior to the event. Meanwhile, other Berth Holders can make their way out to the Solent to join other boaters taking part in the event - it's set to be a real spectacle!
Then, make your way back to Swanwick Marina at 7pm for an informal barbeque, courtesy of The Boat House and enjoy evening entertainment. Adults and children are welcome. Marine Engineers, Landau UK will be present with their fantastic Showcase Roadshow Trailer which will accommodate diners and will host live music.
