Join the RYA as part of our Board
The RYA is seeking an Independent Non-Executive Director to join our Board from November 2025. The Board would like to hear from people with maritime sector experience, but also, following a skills review, candidates with experience in commercial or marketing sectors. The RYA’s Board of Directors
supervises the management of the RYA’s business and discharges the responsibilities of the directors under the Companies Act 2006. We welcome strategic, forward-thinking candidates, particularly with expertise in diversity and inclusion, commercial and marketing, or the maritime sector. Passion for sailing or watersports is welcome but not essential. The role involves attending six to eight Board meetings annually mainly in London or Hamble, Southampton), with occasional additional commitments. It’s a non- paid role but travel expenses are covered. The four-year term starts with effect from this year’s RYA AGM on 21 November, with the chance to stand for a second term. We particularly encourage applications from ethnically diverse candidates who are currently underrepresented at the RYA.
