Welcome to the ROA

The ASSOCIATION provides help and encouragement to all owners, whether in their home waters or undertaking long distance cruises. It also provides a forum for discussion about alterations to existing boats and advice regarding repairs and upgrades.

The Association is affiliated to the Royal Yachting Association and the Bristol Channel Yachting Association, see Links for details.

This website contains articles on cruises and technical subjects submitted by members. Membership of the association also gives access to the original drawings and specifications.

We are now looking for contributions for the next Rival Roundup, our annual journal about Rival adventures written by members.
