Nominations invited for the RYA Regional Youth Champion Awards

Launched in 2014, the RYA Regional Youth Champion Awards recognise the outstanding achievement and performance of talented young people in sailing, windsurfing and powerboating.

The awards are a fantastic opportunity for clubs and class associations, as well as individuals, to reward those making an impact through performance and dedication – recognising the rising stars of the future.

RYA Director of Sport Development, Alistair Dickson, said: “We are pleased to once again open the nomination process for the RYA Regional Youth Champion Awards. It’s an honour to be able to reward individuals who have demonstrated hard work, commitment and determination to succeed in their sport.

“It goes without saying, that this is also an opportunity to thank those behind the scenes offering support and guidance. This includes parents, guardians, coaches, club officials, volunteers and of course friends, without you none of this would be possible.”
