Radio and Free Sailing in the UK
The Model Yachting Association (MYA) is the representative body for Radio and Free sailing in the UK and has been delegated responsibility for the administration of Radio & Free Sailing within the UK. We are affiliated to, and recognised by, the Royal Yachting Association and the International Radio Sailing Association (IRSA) providing direct links to World Sailing and enabling us to have influence on the rules governing our sport.
Our sport has two main disciplines: Radio Sailing and Free Sailing. While both remain popular, Radio Sailing is the most commonly seen on local lakes and waters. Today’s yachts range from home-built boats, where owners enjoy the craft of building, to restored classics that preserve the sport’s history, and high-performance carbon-fibre and kevlar yachts raced competitively at local, national, and international levels.
