The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA) is preparing to launch the extensively revised TYHA Code of Practice 8th Edition, providing members with the latest industry guidance for marina planning, design and operations.

The new edition will be available exclusively online, ensuring members can always access the most up-to-date guidance from their desktop or mobile device.

The initial release will include:

• Volume 1 – Marina Planning and Design
• Volume 2 – Marina Operations

Together, these will completely replace the existing 7th Edition. Two further volumes – covering Superyacht Marina Planning, Design and Operations and Marina Boatyard Planning, Design and Operations – will follow during 2027.

Initially, the Code of Practice will be accessed through the Digify digital platform, ahead of the launch of a dedicated new website expected in early 2027.

Members: make sure you're ready for launch

Access to the 8th Edition will be available to current, fully paid TYHA members only.

To ensure your business has access as soon as the new edition is released, please send the email address(es) of everyone within your organisation who requires access to Hayley Cloke at hcloke@britishmarine.co.uk at your earliest convenience.

Non-members wishing to access the Code of Practice will need to join TYHA. Please contact Hayley for further information.

TYHA extends its thanks to Marina Projects Ltd and everyone who has contributed their time and expertise to this significant revision of an important industry resource.
