The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) is the UK's recognised national association for sailing, windsurfing, motor cruising, sportsboats, personal watercraft and powerboat racing.
The RYA was formed as the Yacht Racing Association in 1875. Its initial aim was to harmonise the right-of-way and handicap rules for yacht racing. It became the Royal Yachting Association in 1952.
