Take sail this weekend

This move to ExCel gives the Boat Show access to prime waterside territory and allows extra events, including the first UK Windsurfing Championships.

Alongside the yachts, you'll see tall ships, a naval frigate and historic steam tugs and fire tenders. In the 1,500-seater watersports arena, giant fans will blow up to 30 knots of wind to simulate sea-going conditions for windsurfing, sailing demos, races and coaching sessions.

Test your sea skills on a powerboat simulator or head to the mock-up of a canalside pub by the Inland Waterways area.
