“I always felt I didn’t have the experience and wouldn’t be able to do it. But guess what, I could do it and I spent the whole week out on the water laying marks.” We caught up with some of the race officials earlier this year at the Youth Nationals to hear about their experiences as women volunteering in racing and how they first got involved. Find out more about becoming a race official, the Race Officials Academy and courses near you - http://rya.org/5TPg50ROx06 World Sailing

Happy #PrideMonth! The RYA is proud to be an ally of LGBTQIA+ boaters, all year round 🏳️🌈 We want sailing and boating to not just mean freedom on the water, but freedom to be yourself. Regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or ability, the water is open to all. Hear from some of our LGBTQIA+ community on why Pride month is important… Find out more about how you can get involved and show your support - http://rya.org/17Xm50S4mxp #WhoeverFloatsYourBoat #TogetherOnWater

Wimbledon Park centre manager, Erica Bishop, tells us all about working at a busy centre in central London and how to get opportunities in the marine industry. “Say yes to every opportunity that comes your way. Say yes to sailing every type of boat you get offered to sail. Paddle every boat you’re able to.” “Take up windsurfing. It’s far better to know what you do enjoy having tried it, rather than just thinking you might enjoy it. Or might not enjoy it…” Whether you’re looking to learn new skills or progress in the marine industry, then we’ve got you covered!
