RYA Anti-Doping Strategy - Sail Clean

Sail Clean is the RYA’s strategy to ensure our sport stays fair for all competitors.

Fair sailing and good sportsmanship are fundamental principles that underpin the sport of sailing and as one of the most famous Olympic sailors of all time, Paul Elvstrom, once said: "You haven't won the race, if in winning the race you have lost the respect of your competitors". Integrity, inclusivity, responsibility and excellence are our core values and the RYA are committed to playing their part in ensuring that the sailing community provides an environment that supports fair play and clean sport.  

​

NEYYSA is committed to supporting and providing anti-doping education to sailors, coaches and support personnel, in a proportionate manner, to ensure that all sailors understand anti-doping requirements and can make informed choices.

Event Operating Policies

Unaccompanied Sailor

Is your sailor heading off to an event with another family?  

​

Why not complete this medical & consent form so the family who is taking your sailor has the information they need in the event of an emergency?  

​

NEYYSA accepts no responsibility for the vetting or behaviour of the adult you have chosen to be responsible for your child.  

​

If NEYYSA is responsible for your child overnight, we will request a full medical & consent form prior to the event & this form does not apply.
