  History of the Rya Rug - All Fiber Arts
In the 17th Century, the rya was no longer considered bedding for the upper nobility, though the servants and lower class still used ryas.
Not everyone was a rya weaver as it took skill, strength and a large loom to weave the heavy tapestry.
Rya designs were usually colourful geometric shapes and florals and quite often had images of the boy and girl to be wed.

 RIBnet Forums - RYA Information
I think historically that the RYA were not truly representative of motorboating and it played second fiddle to yachting and small boat sailing, today though I think it is different and there are a variety of reasons for this.
So overall I think on balance the RYA does represent us well, it can do a host of things better but the key (in my view) to improving is a realisation that change is needed and there is no doubt in my mind that that process is ongoing.
The burden of fighting the increasing legislation impacting all aspects of life is too onerous for motorboaters and sailors to fight individually so I for one advocate the RYA as the right people to represent motorboating with the caveat that we must make sure they know what we think and want.
