Managing Director, Rockley Watersports & RYA Board Member

Pip Woods

As Managing Director of Rockley Watersports, Pip Woods has combined over 20 years of business leadership with a career dedicated to growing participation in sailing and watersports. She has worked internationally in emerging nations with World Sailing and became the UK’s first RYA OnBoard Development Officer, spearheading youth participation in sailing. Now a board member of the Royal Yachting Association and former Chair of its Participation & Membership Committee, Pip brings a dual perspective of business leadership and grassroots engagement. Her commitment to inclusive, accessible pathways into sailing underpins her focus on tackling declining participation and ensuring the sport continues to inspire future generations.
