RNSA provides public benefit by assisting RN Service personnel to perfomi thelr roles within the Amod Forces of the Crown more effectively. It does this by providlng, 8n8bling and supptsrbng sailing activities across the disciplines of sailing dovelopment, yachting, dinghy sailing and windsurfing. 11 supports serving personnel and their familles and works closely with the veteran community. This assistance helps equip Naval personnel with thè skill sets needed to face the challenges and danger associated with military service by developing teamwork, fitness, confidence, character. an ability tc7 overcome challenges and experience to better understand the maritime environment. all underpinn8d by enhancing morale. RNSA hBS long held a strong belief in the b8n8fits of sailing and thls Is supported by RN policy. Sailing develops critical skills such as judgment, risk management, and resilience, which benefit young sailors in their career5 and laamlng to operate in their fighting environment. There is also 8 benefit in forging 8 stronger cultural link in a Nation incr8asingly disconnected from the sea and the RN I RNSA community repres8nting serving personnel, thèir families and veterans. RNSAS Approach as a charity is tts locus on three main strands.. firstly grassroots sailing, secondly ropr859ntalionavcompetitive sailing and finally, family and youth sailing. 2024 has b8en a pivotal year for RNSA with th8 delivery of a new major pilot project, RNSA Youth Crew. With funding provided via a grant from Gre8nwich Hospital and a strong partnership with the Andrew Simpson Foundation IASFI in place to doliver the courses, this innovativ6 and completely free offer of RYA start sailing c()urses to the children of Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Roy81 Fleet Auxiliary personnel has delivered beyond expe¢tstion to 350 children around the UK. Making sailing accessible and fun remains at the Cor8 of RNSA'S misslon. RNSA is worklng together with the RYA, sailing clubs and related organisations to inspire participation through affordable pathways and to encourage ihe tak8-up of sailing as a lile-Ic>ng Snteresl for the whole family. RNSA continues to shape an offering that removes as many of the blockers to sailing as possible. It is looking to raise awareness that sailing can be for anyone, that it offers a way to enjoy quality tirne with the family and friends. helps build confidence, offers a Chan lo learn new Ie-long skills, is affordable and can be greal fun. Service life is challenging and th8 ¢h8nce for families to enloy quality tim& together is uitical. Equally important is for the offer to provide SLkPPOrt to f8milies left behind when serving personnel are deployed, Often for long periods. This concept of support to the community is at the h88rt of RNSA'S new Youth Crew projgct which has made such an impact on RNSAS profile and output this year. The conversations which are corning out ol these dovelopmenis are laying the foundations for more growth and grgaler impact across the Naval community.
ROYAL NAVAL SAILING ASSOCIATION TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Thè mèmbership of the RNSA al the end of 2024 was 4823, slightly down on la* year. Subscriptions fmm membership, create important financial stability and remain the primary source of operating income each year. The RNSA offer to members is improving all the time and a rang& of new initiatives are expected to halp reinforce the support of memb8rs. RNSA Youth Craw, RNSA families days and nèw yacht cruising pathw8ys are good exarnples. RNSAS pot8ntial bèneficiaries are far greater than its membership number and the main slratggic focus is how to tnake sailing and all its benèfits available to more of the Royal Navy and its community.

I was born and raised in Croydon, wh8ra aside from a couple of srnall18kes In local parks, rnany of whlch are surrounded by tr885. there's not exact a vibrant sailing scenel Plus, none (>f my family sails, so il wasn't something I was encouraged to do anyway. When I first heard about the RNSA during my earfy days in the RN. I didn't think much of il. It wasn't until three years into my naval career that a shipmat8 aboard the submarine I was serving on invited me to join a sailing race on Jackarots, the J80 based in Plymouth. After lust a few races, I was completely hooked. I kept coming back for morel Now, three years on from that rirst raee. I'm a qualified Day Skipper working towards my Yachlmaster Offshore. I'v8 sailed In New Zealand with the RN Sailing Team. in Croatia with the Intelligence Corps. and taken part in rnajor regattas like Cowes We8k, Services Offshore Race ISORI, and Dartmouth, among many others. Looking back to 2022. when I stepped onboard Jackaroo for the rirsl time, I could never have imagined just how much RNSA would shape my journey, hèlp me grow, both personally and professional, and the incredible experiences it woul(5 lead to. One of the things I ltsve most about RNSA and sailing is how it breaks down barriers between 811 ranks and rates, branches and fighting amis. Allowing you to mak8 friends and meet wonderful people you probably would never have mel or spoke to in professional work setting. Wh8n I first joined the Navy at 17, 1 rtainlY never imagined I'd one day b8 sitting at dinnèr with the then Commandant General of the Royal Marines and now 1 st Sea Lord at the RNSA Cowes Week party. Or having lunch in the Royal Yacht Squadron during Sovereigns naming ceremony. RNSA has made so much possible for me, and for that, I will aayS bts grateful. I will continu8 to try to repay the debt by continuing to volunt8er on the offshore committee and manage the RNSA InslagTaTn 8ccountl S8rving Royal Naval Parent. EasleT 2024 Youth Crew..
