The RYA has been collecting recreational boating information since 2004, to gain a picture of the areas most utilised for general boating, racing and passage-making in the UK, and the distribution of clubs, training centres and marinas. This helps the RYA to understand which areas are most important to the sport and their members so that they can work to protect them. The information gathered also effectively demonstrates the relative density of sailing activity around the UK.
The first dataset was released in 2005, with updates in 2008 and 2012. A new version with substantial changes to the data format was released in 2016.
