AYRS is dedicated
to finding out how to make yachting better (faster, more fun, whatever you want it
to be). Our members run from sober-sided professional yacht designers and builders
to bearded eccentrics full of ideas that they cannot make work. From our members
have come the winged keel, modern sailing multihulls, self-steering gear, sailboards,
a flock of successful sailing hydrofoils, the World Speed Sailing Record system,
etc etc. Now people are taking off with kiteboats and autogyro-sails, and the first
amphibious bicycle!
Membership is open
to anyone interested in the improvement of yachts and equipment through research
and development. AYRS is a UK registered Educational Charity (No 234081)
