WaveMakers: Opening the Door Wider For decades, the pathway into elite sailing has been clear — but not always accessible.
Now, the Royal Yachting Association is taking another step to change that.
The expansion of its WaveMakers programme into Portsmouth marks more than just a new location. It signals a deliberate shift in how talent is found, supported and developed across British sailing — with a focus on potential, not privilege.

Traditionally, selling a superyacht has been synonymous with a slow, expensive process. Owners often watch their prized sea vessels lingering on the market while the mounting expenses eat away at the vessel’s value. However, a fresh player in the field, Boathouse Auctions, offers an excellent alternative: a streamlined and limited-time approach designed to rev up sales, cut down on carrying costs, and pave a quicker, more efficient path to immediate liquidity.
This innovative model, spearheaded by founder Jack Mahoney, is already transforming the superyacht sales landscape, redefining owner expectations, and proving that, in the current climate, auctions can actually make sound financial sense. Boathouse Auctions stands as a testament to this excellent blend of speed, efficiency, and commercial acumen.
