Since 1982, the Leisure Owners Association has represented the interests of Leisure yacht owners and provided a platform for  Leisure owners to exchange views and ideas on how to maintain and sail these remarkably robust yachts. 

A team of volunteers manage the Association. All funds raised are used solely to improve the experience of Leisure yacht owners worldwide.
