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, which is now the research division
of Help the Aged. 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. |
