Why a SuperYacht Racing Association?
This organization was formed for a very simple reason: “to enhance the enjoyment of superyacht owners”. Safe racing and fair racing are integral to the enjoyment of yacht owners. In fact, it was safety concerns and a very serious injury while racing that led to preliminary discussions and the initial meeting in London in November, 2010. Addressing both of these complex issues is a major undertaking for SYRA with safe racing being the top priority in year one and fleet building being a focus in recent years. At the present time the association is an advisory and informational organization that establishes superyacht racing policy for regatta organizers.
