Three board openings
RYA Northern Ireland has invited applications for two independent director roles and one nominated director role. The announcement sets a deadline of 9am on Monday 5 October 2026.
The source distinguishes the confirmed announcement from the practical details that still need checking. Leisure Boat Guide is reporting the development for the wider small-craft community.
Skills being sought
The organisation mentions marketing, fundraising, communications, sports development and charity governance among its areas of interest. Applicants do not need an existing sailing or boating background.
The subject is relevant to people who organise boating, training or waterside activities. It does not establish that every club or vessel offers the same experience.
The appointment terms
The director appointments are for three years, with six board meetings annually plus the AGM. RYA says the posts are unpaid, with reasonable travel and subsistence expenses covered.
The record provides an account of what was stated or achieved during this particular event. Readers should not infer performance or results for a different participant or location.
How to apply
Candidates are asked to provide a CV and covering letter describing their interests and experience. They should review the current role information and submission instructions directly with RYA Northern Ireland before the deadline.
Further information should be obtained from the original organiser or association before making plans. The official photograph illustrates the specific subject of this report.
