Organisation of the
PPSA
The 20 affiliated clubs of the PPSA are situated
within or immediately adjacent to the Port limits
Representatives meet monthly for discussion,
mutual support and resolution of matters of mutual interest.
Clubs’ sailing programmes are coordinated so that they are
accommodated without undue interference with one another and to the
requirements of the Queen's Harbour Master Plymouth and the Civil Harbour
Authorities.
Monthly forum meetings are attended by the Officers,
Affiliated Club representatives (two for each club of which only one may vote),
representatives from QHM Plymouth(QHM), Royal Yachting Association(RYA),
