RYA Scotland Annual Review 2015/16

Making The LinksAnnual Review 2015/16

For RYA Scotland this has been a great year for connecting people, ideas and organisations. On page 10 and 13 you can learn more about the Focus Clubs reaping the benefits of shared ideas and expertise. On page 16 the young Class Academy sailors achieving great results, and on the pages that follow, the quietly important work going on in the background with Scottish Government and organisations like Scottish Canals to make sure your interests continue to be heard.

As a boating family in Scotland we are a diverse bunch. But regardless of whether you’re an Olympic sailor with sights on Rio, or a 9-year-old power boater with sights on a VHF radio course, what connects us is the exhilaration and freedom we find in open water. If you’re not already a member, maybe it’s time to join?

Enjoy these highlights from last year, and here’s to Rio inspiring us all to push ourselves further in the season ahead.

By power of associationSteve Jobs believed in the power of association. He credits some of his greatest leaps in thinking to the simple art of connecting things.

SCOTLANDFinding the best way to devolve

RYA Scotland is the voice representing your interests

While a decision has not been made on how best to devolve the management of the Crown Estate in Scotland, RYA Scotland is right at the heart of the conversation. Having had a successful working relationship with the Crown Estate, our view is that while local concerns must be addressed, Scotland’s coastal waters are best managed with national oversight. Not all coastal Local Authorities would

find it easy to employ additional specialist staff for this purpose, or indeed have access to funding to remove derelict fish farms or clear underwater obstructions as the Crown Estate has done.

RYA Scotland is making sure the concerns of recreational boaters are being heard and understood by local and national politicians, and by civil servants.

“Marine Scotland very much welcomes RYA Scotland’s contribution to the integrated management of Scotland’s seas. Their staff and volunteers provide intelligent and informed commentary on a broad range of marine issues to ensure that marine planning and policies reflects the interests of their members.”Anna Donald, Head of Planning, Marine Scotland


Working to improve the canals

REPRESENTING YOUR INTERESTS

A renewed working partnership with Scottish Canals is allowing both sides to share their issues and find workarounds together. A change to charging structures has already been made and investment in dredging equipment means progress is on the way. It won’t happen overnight, but the rewards will benefit everyone.

Scotland’s canals are a valuable resource. However, lack of dredging in recent years has created problems for some boat owners, with boats hitting the bottom and engines overheating once stuck in the mud.

06

Scotland’s marine environment is one of its crown jewels, encompassing some of the world’s most beautiful and varied boating waters. It’s estimated that the value of marine tourism to the economy could grow by as much as £100m by 2020. RYA Scotland has been working in partnership with the Scottish Government and Marine Scotland to develop and lead the growth of sailing tourism in Scotland.

Awakening the giant of marine tourism

By its very nature, sailing tourism reaches communities and parts of the coast that are ‘off the beaten track’. Many of these communities have fragile economies and the impact that sensitive marine tourism can make is critical to their sustainability.

It’s estimated marine tourism could be worth

£450m by 2020.

Read the vision statement here.


Finding a good route to a solution in Oban harbour

Those who have sailed into Oban harbour will know the entrance is tight.

As a small craft you can quite easily find that you have to wait to allow a CalMac ferry to pass. Keen to double the frequency of their ferry traffic without introducing byelaws, CalMac called for the formation of an Oban Harbour Authority and a designated large ship channel.

RYA Scotland’s Cruising and General Purposes Committee has been involved throughout the consultation process making sure the interests of recreational users are heard.

As a group of volunteers, the committee bring not only their own individual expertise as lawyers, ecologists and master mariners, but also wider knowledge through the RYA network across the UK.

By drawing on experience in the Firth of Clyde the team were able to share ideas previously used with success in Ardrossan.

08 REPRESENTING YOUR INTERESTS

David Vass is one of five volunteer Coastwatchers for the West Highlands.

“You require a reasonably intimate knowledge of the coast involved to be a Coastwatcher. I cover from the Mull of Kintyre to Cape Wrath. In recent years the West Coast has seen a massive growth in marine tourism, alongside aquaculture and marine renewables projects. Graham and the team at RYA Scotland have been a very useful resource to call on for help and advice on environmental issues that arise and may affect the boating community.”

Focus on clubs

“Dundee Sailing Club has played a key role in ‘igniting’ my passion for sailing. We have some experienced folks in our club and every sailing session with them is a great opportunity for beginners like me to gain experience and learn new skills. I enjoy every aspect of sailing, and it has helped me find the spirit of adventure that was buried deep within me.”Bergeron Salethaiyan, Dundee Sailing Club

Prestwick Sailing Club“As a club we didn’t have a

cadet or junior programme and would only operate a few days a week, partly down to our limited facilities. We now operate seven

days a week and we have to borrow boats. My highlight this

year was watching 21 of our junior sailors take part in the

Scottish Club Trophy. A big step up from 3 the year before! The RYA development team have been a great source of advice,

ideas and guidance, and they’ve opened a few doors too.”

Tracey Knubley, Prestwick

Commodore

Regional Development Officers are working directly with 20 ‘Focus Clubs’ to help them support their active membership base, grow sustainably and increase the opportunities they offer.

10 FOCUS ON CLUBS

Club of the Year

“The RYA team were a great sounding board. They asked us difficult questions, which prompted us to think further when our answer was ‘Because we’ve always done it like that’. They gave us advice on best practice and told us which routes hadn’t worked for other clubs.”Finlo Cottier, Oban Commodore

This was the second year of support for nominated Focus Clubs, and it was great to see one of those clubs, Oban, pick up Club of the Year. Oban were nominated alongside Perth and Banff Sailing Clubs and decided magnanimously to share the award on the night.

Coaching. Keeping the foundations of the sport strong

Ours is a not entirely uncomplicated sport. There’s a level of difficulty around equipment, waters, and tactics, not to mention the weather. Unsurprising then that high calibre coaching and instruction plays such a key role in bringing people into the boating family and helps them maximise their skills and enjoyment.

“So many people took time to teach me to sail, putting back into my club this year has been great. I’ve been doing my coaching qualifications and helping younger sailors progress.”Rebecca Coles Young Person of the Year, Annandale Sailing Club

Collaborative pilot A new collaboration with sportscotland brought coaches from different sports such as triathlon, boccia, bowls, swimming and sailing together. Covering mentoring and leadership, the pilot focused on the skills needed to become a better coach and allowed coaches from the different sports to swap tips.

COACHING

During 2015 the Academy days were combined with training weekends and traveller events to ease the pressure on available dates. The focus was strength in class, with a morning of coaching and an afternoon of racing. Sailors relatively new to the sport joined youth and junior sailors up to GB level about to compete in their first national championships.

Coaches focused on specific areas worth strengthening after they’d watched the morning’s sailing. Working in a 1:6 ratio in streams according to ability, each event was an opportunity for sailors to hone in on problem areas and make big jumps in learning. A take-home DVD was handed out to help everyone remember how to build on their new skills in home waters.

The Class Academy programme continues to be a way for young people to benefit from top National Level coaching expertise.

Sophie Taylor (age 9) having progressed through the Academy programme

is off to do her first National Championships,

a mere 18 months, after starting

to sail.


“Sailing is developing my sons’ resilience, determination, independence and courage. We have had great times as well as learning to weather disappointments when things don’t go as well as expected. They have visited gorgeous places and made friends with optimist sailors from around Scotland, England and Wales.”

Angela shares her sons’ experience of the Academy programme this year.

WHAT DO YOUNG PEOPLE

GET OUT OF SAILING?

HEALTHY ACTIVE LIFESTYLE Boating is a naturally active pastime. As skills

progress so does fitness, strength, co-ordination and an appreciation of a healthy lifestyle.

ADVENTURE Every option in boating

offers excitement, whether it’s racing in small dinghies

at walking pace or flying across choppy waters on a

windsurf board faster than a water-skier.

ENJOYMENT Boating has a strong social network, and

skills like sportsmanship, team spirit and

co-operation are essential.

CONFIDENCEPeople who take to the water enter an environment that presents different

challenges each time. As ability improves so

does confidence.

RESPONSIBILITYWhen you control a boat

for the first time you quickly develop an understanding

of responsibility.

DECISION MAKING Going afloat requires a constant

element of analysis on wind, weather and water conditions.

Young people learn to make tactical and strategic decisions

from the off.

RESPECT Being part of the

boating community enables young

people to develop a healthy respect for the rules that guide

safety, facilitate fair competition and protect the environment.

RESILIENCE In our competitive framework young

people learn to reflect on a

mishap, let go of negative emotions and take forward

the learning.

SELF-ESTEEM

The effort and determination it takes to master a specific skill is rewarded with

an indescribable feeling of

accomplishment.


Scottish ClubTrophy

WINNERLoch Venacher Sailing Club

This year the event was open to all clubs for the very first time. Our hosts at Loch Lomond Sailing Club helped to welcome over 135 entrants. This growing number of young sailors taking part is testament to the development work being done at club level, and through the Class Academies. Prestwick Sailing Club having previously only entered three sailors brought 20 entrants. A superb day of racing was on show with Venacher Sailing Club triumphantly lifting the silverware on the day.

Scottish National ChampionshipsThe Scottish National Championships took place on 6 June 2015 at Castle Semple Centre, Clyde Muirshiel Country Park, Lochwinnoch. Sixteen participants attended across the two age groups.

Oban Duncan (8-12 years) and Jordan Colley (13-16years) went on to represent Scotland in the UK finals at the Southampton Boatshow.

Oban Duncan is not only the youngest participant to ever

represent Scotland; she will also be doing a demo drive in front of 20,000

at the P1 Grand Prix at Inverclyde in

June 2016.


A combined programme starts to pay off

The performance, coaching and development teams have been working closely throughout the year to bring national level coaching expertise to sailors at all levels from Class Academies and into Development Teams. 2015 also saw the introduction of a new Transition Programme. Kicking off in April and running throughout the summer, the programme aimed to identify and support junior and youth sailors with the greatest fitness, skills and mind-set for growth.

Sailing can be a mind-boggling sport for non-sailing parents. Alongside orientation camps at Academy days a new initiative offered guidance to parents on how to talk to their children about results in a way that builds confidence and resilience when things don’t go to plan.

Young sailors were also encouraged to take a closer look at their lunchboxes for a day on the water. The half-day session was designed to teach young sailors about the importance of nutrition and highlight which food groups can support their sailing efforts.

“RYA Scotland recently changed its performance structure to provide high quality coaching to a larger group of sailors via the Academy programmes. The success of the programme has been recognised UK wide where the coaching at transition level has been opened to all sailors to ensure development of a larger number of sailors, rather than a selected few.”Callum MacDonald, Volunteer Chair Performance Committee CLICK HERE

The Zone Championships are important for anyone hoping to qualify for the national Development Team. This year the event was hosted by Loch Tummel Sailing Club. Two Scottish sailors, Ian Duncan and Alistair Higgins from Dalgety Bay Sailing Club made it to the national squads, with many others starting to achieve some excellent results at events around the country.

WATCH SOME OFTHE ACTION IN THIS VIDEO OF THE EVENT

RYA Scotland Team 15 Tiree Wave CampThis event held in the October holidays offered four days of exhilarating coaching and competition.

T15 now has six active clubs and three events over the season.This year in a bold new step the events took on a coached format designed to boost skills levels. As a direct result, the Scottish Development Team has welcomed four new faces now going on to national training.


RYA Scotland has been working alongside the Tiree Wave Classic (TWC) event team for 12 years to deliver a junior T15 element. For the first time ever, in a new three-year partnership the British Wave Sailing Association and local host Wild Diamond, the T15 Wave Camp was fully integrated into the main TWC event.

Twenty-three young Scottish sailors had the chance to compete alongside some of the best windsurfers in the UK, with nearly as many local schoolchildren getting an opportunity to try the sport.

Bringing the pros and the newbies together

The coached competition format is a first for the UK and creates an exciting new wave sailing pathway for Scottish talent.

The three organisations joined forces to make the event as memorable as possible for the young sailors, including a meet the Pros Q&A and movie night. After a fantastic run through the double elimination Finn Macdonald came a close second to Scottish Junior wave champion Andy Brown. Jude Nicol was the first girl taking fifth place.

By working with Tiree Community Trust, Tiree and Coll Primaries

16 local schoolchildren and 4 adults benefitted too

Making open water open to all

Wheelyboat on showThe Wheelyboat allows wheelchair users to be fully in control of a boat and opens up access to sailors using a wheelchair. To increase awareness of these brilliant crafts, RYA Scotland worked with Clyde Muirshiel to bring the Wheelyboat to Scotland’s Boat Show at Kip Marina in October 2015.

30 DEVELOPING OUR SPORT

Push the Boat OutFor the many people who dream of getting on the water but don’t know how, ‘Push the Boat Out’ is one way to enjoy a taster. In May 2015, 12 sailing clubs took part, each noting a rise in memberships directly afterwards. This year, a record 30 clubs have registered to take part, an outstanding result.

New class academies for disabled sailorsTwo Class Academies were held by instructors trained in the needs of disabled sailors, specifically for the class of boats used by those sailors. It is hoped we can help grow and develop the next generation of high calibre disabled sailors in Scotland.

Para sports dayIn June 2015, sailing was showcased as an opportunity to people with a physical or sensory disability at Strathclyde Park, as part of a new partnership with Scottish Disability Sport. The weather wasn’t the best, but hopefully 2016 will bring sun, a gentle wind and more water-curious disabled people to Clyde Muirshiel.

Advanced Level EqualityRYA UK is the first governing sports body to achieve Advanced Equality Standard and RYA Scotland hope to follow in their footsteps by demonstrating over the coming year our commitment to social equality and minority groups.

Scotland’s Boat Show at Kip Marina attracted 16,000 people over one weekend and was a great opportunity to engage with members and the public.

Our Commodores Gathering is now a staple event at the Boat Show and a chance for Commodores everywhere to get together, hear the latest news, raise any issues as well

as share thoughts and opinions with other clubs. If you haven’t been before, please do consider

coming this year.

CALLING ALL COMMODORES

Working alongside Clyde Muirshiel, with their Wheelyboat and Hansa Dinghies, the event helped to raised awareness of accessible boats and encourage more disabled sailors into the sport. Our annual Gold Members reception gave members of five years or more an opportunity to chat more directly with the RYA Scotland team.

In the many highlights of the year you’ll find recurring mention of ‘successful partnership working’. Nationally, it’s working alongside Marine Scotland, The Crown Estate and Scottish Canals to represent the interests of the boating community, and at a local level it’s through our Coastwatchers. For our Focus Clubs it’s about drawing links to what’s worked for other clubs, opening doors, and making connections.

We connect young people with a fresh appetite for sailing with experienced coaches to foster their love of our sport, and join forces with parents to help them support their child on our pathway. And with two Scottish sailors going to compete at Rio, we can prove the link between our work and the medal podium.

So much of this work is dependent on the support we receive from our volunteers and our close partners. There are many and we owe them considerable thanks, particularly our colleagues at the RYA and sportscotland.

‘Making the Links’ is something RYA Scotland is naturally good at, and it’s only right this should be a source of pride.

Increasingly we are demonstrating the impact of our work and the value of boating, showing the difference boating makes to local communities across Scotland and the individuals within those communities. It is so much more than just numbers. Even so, our family is growing in number and it is this growth in RYA membership in Scotland that makes our voice stronger and our confidence greater for the future.
