- Seavets in Action
- Committee
 

Seavets was formed in 1984 to promote windsurfing as an activity, convinced that an active life in middle age is most likely to lead to a healthier and so happier old age. Seavets has members from all over mainland Britain.

  • Promotes responsible and sociable windsurfing for the "not so young". Membership is open to those over 35 years old.
  • Organises racing and recreational events for members and encourages other organisers of windsurfing events to include categories and to award prizes for the "not so young".
  • Supports the registered charity Research Into Ageing.
  • Encourages members to become qualified through Royal Yachting Association approved courses.

From the beginning the club has been closely linked with the medical research charity Research Into Ageing Fund, which is now the research division of Age UK. Nearly £3,000 has been raised by Seavets each year for the last few years, and more than £60,000 has been raised since 1986. Seavets is affiliated to the Royal Yachting Association.

Olympic 2016 classes. The ISAF Council has decided to drop windsurfing in favour of kitesurfing at the 2016 Olympics. There is a faint possibility that this decision could be changed at their Annual Conference in November. There is an online petition for those who would like to object- here's the link.

Project Windsurf UK is an initiative from the RYA - have a look at it here, sign up and then join the Seavets group. (Please use your full name when you sign up so that I recognise you as a Seavet.) It should be a great way to keep in touch and provides a disussion forum. Suggestions and comments welcome - via the Project Windsurf-UK site, or by email. I've written some guidelines to help, as it's not altogether obvious (updated 14 May). Click here to download.

Midweek social sailing on the south coast has started. See their programme here. For other social sailing events click here.
