Support for your event
Running an event? We might be able to help. Find out more about RYA Scotland's overall approach to events.
Events are the lifeblood of our sport, and we recognise how much work goes into running them. Whether it’s club activity, class nationals, or something new altogether – we also know how much resource is required to run a safe and fun event.
In order to facilitate positive activity afloat, we run a number of key RYA Scotland events amongst a calendar of training and development opportunities.
In addition to our own RYA Scotland activity, we are also sometimes able to support external activity where feasible. In a bid to support a variety of different activity across Scotland, we refer to our event strategy which promotes the value of events, and how their impact can be maximised via support where possible.

RYA Scotland event tiers
RYA Scotland’s events strategy highlights outlines our approach to event support, categorised in a four Tier system as visible below.
Tier 1
RYA Scotland acts as the Organising Authority (OA)
Tier 2
Event support through the provision or equipment, knowledge, or personnel for events organised by RYA affiliate organisations.
Tier 3
Visible input in the form of prizes, endorsements, and grant support.
Tier 4
Interested to see the event happen, enhancement of existing events and grow opportunities for participation or wider awareness of the sport.
Put in a request for support
To allow us to identify further event support needs in the community, we invite requests from event organisers. Our resources are however limited, and so we will consider each request individually to determine how we can help (where possible).
Find out more about the different avenues of support, and how to get in touch:
Are you planning a Discover Sailing day, open day, or other way of welcoming new faces onto the water?
Perhaps you’re running a major event, regatta, festival, or have something else in the works? Get in touch using the link to the form below, and let us know how we may be able to help. Support will typically not be monetary and is instead primarily resource and time based.
If you have any questions about which support route might be right for you, get in touch with communications@ryascotland.org.uk.
