Run by sailing’s National Governing Body, the RYA, Onboard is a highly successful industry supported grass roots programme which seeks to make sailing and windsurfing easier to get into for young people. Over a ten year period the programme aims to introduce a minimum of 500,000 children to sailing in the UK, converting over 10% of them into regular participants. So far it’s nicely on track.

Victoria Lenz RYA Sailing Development Officer comments; “It’s great to welcome Portsmouth Watersports Centre to the Onboard programme. Sailing is a fantastic sport no matter your age, background or ability. We look forward to working with them and the local community to get as many people as possible enjoying our great sport.”

Parkwood Leisure Outdoor Activity Manager commented "All of us at PWC are very excited about receiving Onboard recognition and look forward to encouraging more young people into regular sailing, which we certainly have the facility for."
