The RYA Scotland Annual Awards continues to bring the sailing community in Scotland to together to recognise just some of the achievements and the commitment of people within our sport and the wider activities around boating. Without these people and many more like them our activities would not be possible.
Many nominators have taken the time to submit excellent and detailed nominations and we are extremely grateful as this often brings to light some inspiring stories from our community.
