Find a YDSA designer

You can find a YDSA designer by name or location in our online members' directory. You can also search through the member information to find out who specialises in the type of boat you want - which may be useful if you have a very specific requirement – or contact the YDSA staff team, who will do their best to help you if your request is particularly unusual.

The entry grade for YDSA members is "Affiliate", with upgrading via the in-house examination for designers, to "Accredited"; and eventually to "Full" Member. "Fellow" and "Honorary" Members are elected by the members at an AGM for services to the association. Affiliate members may not advertise their membership.
