The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) is the national governing body for certain watersports in the United Kingdom. Activities it covers include Sailing, Windsurfing, Motor cruising, Powerboating & Personal watercraft The RYA is one of the founding members of the International Sailing Federation the World Governing Body for the sport of sailing and serves as the Member National Authority. ==History== The ''Yacht Racing Association'' was founded in November, 1875. Its initial purpose was to standardise the rules of measurement to different racing yachts, so that boats of different classes could compete fairly against each other. Membership at the time cost two guineas and was available to "former and present owners of racing yachts of and above 10 tonnes. Thames measurement and such other gentlemen as the committee may elect". Though efforts for membership availability to dinghies and other small craft were made in 1888, it wasn’t until 1921 that the YRA incorporated the independent Sailing Boat Association and the Boat Racing Association into its body. In 1953 the YRA became the Royal Yachting Association (RYA). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Royal Yachting Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
