Another post from across the pond. Here is what some of them are saying about our efforts with our fight.


We can talk about this untill we are blue in the face , but this wont affect the RYA and its actions , we need to do something now before we run out of time to have any effect atall.
The American cat sailors had exactly the same problem when their organising body ANNOUNCED that they were submitting to remove cat sailing from the Olympics , our fellow cat sailors across the pond had the advantage in that their organisation made their intentions public and in time to do something about it .

USA cat sailors made the organising body change their submission to actually supporting future cat racing .

We need to learn from their experience and DO SOMETHING QUICKLY before its to late for us , time is not on our side due to the underhand fashion in which the RYA has gone about this .

I believe the US cat sailors started with 1 petition on line to which they could all agree to sign , with which they could show the level of dissaproval , not sure what else they did , but it worked .

With an online petition we can get all our fellow cat sailors and clubs to add their names to and will give us something to target our dissaproval with. For every cat sailor that writes in a forum there must be 100 that agree but wont speak out , but I bet they can be persuaded to sign a petition. Nor do they have to be specific cat sailors , just sailors with an interest in competition , sailing developement and overall fairness.
