Craig Evans has been appointed by the RYA as the Regional Rules Advisor (RRA) for Scotland.

With a background in dinghy racing, Evans has been an active racer for over 40 years in several classes.

He was appointed as a national judge in November 2020, in addition to serving on the jury for several national-level events including the Irish Youth Nationals.

Evans has also served on several international juries at events abroad, including three class world championships, alongside team-racing and match-racing umpiring around the UK and Ireland.

The remit of Evans’ new role is to improve rules knowledge in clubs and classes throughout Scotland and to assist with rules advice and training with the RYA Scotland performance teams.

Evans is available to visit clubs and class associations over the winter and starts off with Edinburgh University Sailing Club next Tuesday 15 November. Interested clubs and classes can submit a request to [email protected].
