Info Members: The PYA has continuously consulted with policy makers who are tasked with writing legislation affecting the construction, operation and manning of large yachts.
The expansion of yachting in recent years means that many international conventions written for the merchant marine now impact on yachts and those that work on board them. It is vitally important that the voice of the people actually manning yachts is heard by policy makers. PYA fulfils this role.
The PYA is delegated by the UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) to verify the sea-service of yacht crew on its behalf.
