Here at the Even Keel Project we have been busy planning an exciting season of sailing for 2010, with many great event for all to be involved in.

Our home at the UKSA will be offering try sailing sessions from the beginning of April to any groups or organisations who wish to experience what sailing has to offer.

The fully packed calendar of events is coming together, with try sailing in Cowes, racing regattas throughout the country and shows & exhibitions for all to experience the project.

Starting with our Even Keel Open Days at the UKSA on April 9th & 10th, this is the perfect chance for all to come along to find out more about the project, have a look around the fantastic facilities and meet the team. Our fleet of 6 Artemis 20s will be available for everyone to get out on the water & try out the project first hand.

If you can't wait until April to get involved why not come along to the RYA Dinghy show on March 6th & 7th where the team & boats will be on show at the RYA Sailability stand for all to see. Then on to the Royal Windsor Racecourse for the British Leisure Show, 19th – 21st March, where once again we will be spreading the word that sailing can be for you...

The boats will be racing at various regattas throughout the year and we will be offering crewing positions at some of these for those who wish to feel the thrill and excitement of competition. Selection & training sessions will be held at various locations during the year and places offered to those who impress with their enthusiasm.

Cowes week is also shaping up to be big in 2010 for all involved in the Even Keel, with a range of activities and a few surprises along the way.

We have also listened to all the feedback from our sailors last year and invested considerable time and energy in fine tuning the boats for that perfect experience, with new seating arrangements and a selection of products to enable everyone the chance to get really involved.

We are always keen to hear all ideas for events and activities that you would like to see and will always try to make them happen.  So get in touch and let's see what we can do together.

The team are almost ready to go; we hope you are too .... and look forward to a great year ahead for us all.
