Supporting Welsh Sailing
Sport Wales is currently the RYA Cymru Wales’s main funding partner. We receive grant funding to run our development, participation and national squad programmes. RYA Cymru Wales also receives in kind support thorough Sport Wales National Centres at Plas Menai, where our main office is based and at the National Sports Centre in Cardiff.
Acorn Adventure sponsor our South and West Wales OnBoard Regatta at Llangorse. Acorn gives RYA Cymru Wales free use of the site for the weekend at the end of August. This event is one of our best-established junior regattas and attracts between 120 – 150 entries from clubs and centres across South and West Wales
RYA Cymru Wales is fortunate to receive significant Lottery funding from Sport Wales. We use this funding to support our National Squad programme by providing targeted support to our most talented sailors as they campaign for GBR selection across the Olympic and Paralympic feeder classes.
Firmhelm Chandlery and Marine Leisurewear from Pwllheli support the Welsh National & Regional Squad programme.
Firmhelm provide RYA Cymru Wales with financial support that we use to maintain our fleet of RIBS. Firmhelm also offer discounts for Welsh National & Regional Squad Sailors in their shop at Pwllheli.
