£24 million for British sailing

The RYA is to receive nearly £24 million from UK Sport for its World Class Programme between 2025 and 2029.

The funding is an increase of 7% on the amount received for the Paris 2024 Olympic cycle.

The funding will cover the elite-level British Sailing Team, the development academy British Sailing Squad and the Transition programme that helps athletes progress from the British Youth Sailing talent pathway.

“Today’s announcement is very positive for sailing,” said Mark Robinson, the RYA’s performance director.

“We are incredibly grateful to UK Sport for continuing to support sailing and all the other Olympic and Paralympic sports.

“We are confident that with this funding we can continue to deliver world-class support for our athletes, in both the short and long term.

“It will give us the financial certainty to head full steam towards Los Angeles 2028 where we will aim to continue our strong tradition of Olympic success and inspire future generations along the way.”

The funding is from the Government and National Lottery investment in Olympic and Paralympic sport over the next four years.
