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 I￿e-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.

Thè mèmbership of the RNSA al the end of 2024 was 4823, slightly down on la* year. Subscriptions fmm

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.

Before joining the Royal Navy in the backend gf 2018. 1 showed no interest in sailing, nor had l ever sailed
before. 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 a￿ayS 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

My children and I have had 8 very difficult year, l arn serving RN and due to a relationship br&akdown, I had to
mtsve away from the area and the RN community. I continued to work from home and travelling lo Portsrnouth as
and when. RNSA Youth Crew Sailing week has not only given my children something to support their emotional
and physical developmenl. leaTning new skills, making new relationships etc. but also tneant I could bring th8m

this helps signpost thè sailing opportunities which are often thè next slep. The Centres that provide sailing
reduced from fiv8 to three in 2024 and the remaining ones in Portsmouth, Plymouth and F8slane all struggled to
maintain their level of activity for reasons beyond RNSAS control. RNSA is working h8rd to support the RN, help
the RN WACS function more efficiently. drive new delivery options and offer leadership to help fimi up the
provision of sport. The RNSA'S Sailing Manager is a CTilical enabler.

range of RORC &v8nts, the Womens, Open Keelbtsat Ghampionships IWOKCI and Dartmouth Week. 11 also

as a hub to assess future demand and signpost onto other RNSA projects. They also act lo support the local
communities in their own right.
Overall partiapant days in 2024 were 7000, an 8% Increase on 2023 which was signifi￿ntlY helped by th& new

conducted. Good land importantl work by RNSA'S Flag Officers ov8rsaw 'safe operating, procedures whi¢h
included robust risk assessments. As dglivery broadened to include more families, the safety and safeguarding
aspects were updated to support these events.
Coneluslon
As a￿aYS, the Trustees appreciate that RNSA would not be abla to achieve so much withtsul the valued and
v8ri8d support of the many unseen and often unsung volunteers who give up their free Ime lo contribute to thls .
unique organisation.
The Trustees also remain very grateful for th8 continued support of ltte various RN Charities, sponsors and
grant providers. It really does make a huge difference and enables RNSA lo operate effectively, efficiently and
dynamically to optimize its impact. The Trustees are also grateful to the staff and executive team that works so
hard to build the success that is so evident.
The Trustees are pleased to report that RNSA continues to evolve lo meet the operating environmènt, is
financially sound. well managed and stfiving to optimise it impact for the wide rèngè of beneficiaries. It also
looks to recognise its membership, not all of whom are beneficiaries. and RNSA'S 90th anniversary n8xl year
will provide tha p8rfecl opportunity to do so.
