Terms and conditions

Entries are welcomed from amateur designers, professionals and from dinghy manufacturers. Intellectual property associated with the design remains with the designer – but the designs may be described or published in Yachting Monthly, in the Royal Cruising Club Journal and in other publications so if there are particular ideas that are novel you may wish to take steps to protect them.

Entries should be submitted by Monday 1st October 201 via email to Dinghydesign@ipcmedia.com or sent to RCC/Yachting Monthly dinghy design competition, Marine Marketing, 9th Floor Blue Fin Building, 110 Southwark Street, London, SE1 0SU. The winner will be contacted by phone before 31 January 2013.

Please label all material with the name of the design and the designer and include a contact name, email address and phone number with your submission.
IPC Media Ltd, publisher of Yachting Monthly will collect your personal information to process your competition entry. We will NOT be using this month’s competition entries to send you special offers or to pass onto third parties. The winner will be contacted within twelve weeks of the closing date by phone.
