What you get for your money

The Society publishes a quarterly newsletter (worth the price of subscription in itself, IMHO), plus 2-4 single subject (*very* cutting-edge) booklets per year.

Subjects range from "Natural Aerodynamics" (birds' wings and vortex generation/reduction), to "Self Steering", to "21st Century Multihulls". Subjects generally run about 3:1, high tech:cruising subjects.

You can find a full list of our booklet publications on the accompanying Publications List page. Alternatively you can look up specific subjects in the AYRS Publications Index.

We hold 4-6 meetings each year in the UK, and meetings in the NE and W Coast United States (when someone volunteers to organise them).

We also have an Email Discussion Group on Yahoo, open to all. For joining instructions see: How to join the Email Discussion Group

We hope you will join us. You will be very welcome!
