MG Motor UK is proud to announce its new role as the Official Automotive Partner of the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and the British Sailing Team, bringing together two respected organisations united by a shared passion for adventure, freedom and innovation.
The partnership marks an exciting new chapter for MG, reinforcing its commitment to supporting active lifestyles while championing sustainability through its growing range of hybrid and electric vehicles. Whether exploring the UK's roads or its waterways, MG and the RYA share a common goal of helping people discover new experiences and embrace the freedom to travel further.
As part of the partnership, MG branding will feature prominently across British Sailing Team sails, team apparel and throughout RYA communications, helping strengthen the brand's connection with one of the UK's most vibrant sporting communities.
With over 270,000 people undertaking RYA training courses every year, and thousands more enjoying sailing and boating recreationally, MG's practical and technologically advanced vehicle range is perfectly suited to support life on the water. Generous load space, impressive towing capabilities and efficient hybrid and electric powertrains make MG vehicles ideal companions for transporting sailing equipment and supporting boating adventures across the country.
Guy Pigounakis, Commercial Director at MG Motor UK, commented:
"The UK sailing community represents a passionate and growing audience that perfectly reflects MG's values of adventure, accessibility and innovation. Our expanding range of hybrid and electric vehicles combines practicality, comfort and advanced technology with a strong focus on sustainability. We are delighted to partner with the RYA and British Sailing Team and look forward to supporting sailors at every level across the UK."
Sara Sutcliffe, CEO of the RYA, added:
"We are delighted to welcome MG as the RYA's Official Automotive Partner. MG's commitment to sustainable mobility aligns closely with our vision for a more environmentally responsible future for boating. We look forward to working together and creating meaningful benefits for our members and the wider sailing community."
As an added benefit of the partnership, RYA members will gain access to the MG Affinity Scheme, providing exclusive savings on the purchase of a new MG vehicle.
This exciting collaboration reflects both organisations' commitment to innovation, sustainability and inspiring people to embrace adventure—whether that's navigating the open seas or exploring the open road.
