RS Sailing announced as Official Partner of RYA Connected
Inspiring the future of sailing leadership through RYA Connected
The open water, the blue spaces, this is where we belong.
It's where we find joy, connection, and purpose but the activities we love are under threat.
Our freedom to navigate and our right to cruise is continually facing excessive regulation and unjustifiable rising costs.
Meanwhile pollution, waste and the spread of invasive species puts the places we enjoy at risk.
Together, through our powerful community, we’re championing a culture where freedom, safety and sustainability goes hand in hand. Because when we all take responsibility, we keep the water wild, open, and ours.
Representing you
Using the power of our collective voice, identity and influence to make sure we are heard.
Driving change
Tackling challenges through action, partnerships and education.
Protecting tomorrow's waters
Safeguarding boating for the next generation.
