HOYLAKE Sailing Club is offering two "Push The Boat Out" events as part of the RYA's national campaign to encourage people out onto the water.

For anyone who fancies having a go at sailing/boating, without any commitment, pressure or expense, this is your chance to give it a try.

The first event takes place from around 5pm to 8pm on Friday, May 18, from the club's unit at the Hilbre end of the Marine Lake in West Kirby.

Our second event is on the tide off Dovepoint slipway in Meols on Sunday, May, 20, from around 2.30pm to 4.30pm.

This offers visitors the chance to have a go in our classic Opera class boats, or maybe just watch from a quick trip out in one of our rescue boats.
