We (sailors) who love our sport would be lost without your support and guidance, you are our voice!

The RYA is an excellent professional body offering information and advice, lobbying for significant issues which affect the general boating community

The RYA is the world’s leading body in the promotion of water sports and I am proud to be a part of it with my small contribution as a member.

The RYA supports boating by keeping its members (individuals and clubs) informed, providing world class training and lobbying on behalf of boaters in the UK & Europe.

My first 'port of call' for any sailing problem. Received great assistance and advice when the MCA 'sold off' members details from the Part 1 Register of Shipping.

The RYA is the one organisation that truly represents the interests of the UK yachting community.

One stop shop for boater's rights, boating safety and boating future.  Offering local support as well as established powerful influence and contacts in pertinent places to keep boating accessible.

The RYA has done some fantastic work in recent years to promote and protect boating, but the key is the good people - the people that work in the team are amazing.

The RYA are the sailors and Club's constant watchdog, we can get on and enjoy sailing because the RYA have their finger on the pulse.

For sport or relaxing on the water the RYA can help advise and protect! Prompt, helpful and friendly - thanks RYA

The RYA fights the battles that the ordinary individual would never be able to fight on their own. You have a voice in higher places.

A world-leading organisation which, through a network of personal and on-line communication systems, provides up-to-date information and guidance on racing, legislative proposals and training for all types of boating.

The RYA does a fab job for boating. By far the most excellent in my view is the teaching and training programme. I have very much enjoyed the courses and will do more.
