rya scotland
The Royal Yachting Association Scotland (RYA Scotland) has two distinct roles.
Firstly we are a membership organisation charged with looking after the
interests of individuals, clubs, training centres and affiliates of the RYA in
Scotland. Secondly we are the recognised governing body for sailing in all it’s
forms in Scotland. The first of these roles is directly supported by the
membership of the RYA and the second is supported by sportscotland, the national
agency for sport. Our work is diverse. Between the staff and volunteers of RYA
Scotland we plan, run and deliver programmes of activity that cover narrow
boating, powerboating and motorcruising, dinghy, keelboat and yacht sailing,
volunteer, coach and club development, elite athlete development and racing,
environmental awareness, advice to government, local authorities and coastal
developers and a multitude of other activities to protect the rights and promote
the interests of the boating community in Scotland.
