The RYA is just manouvring (politicking) to limit the damage c.q. to still get what they want but not be as obvious about it.

Their last communique is the same. Both of these contain the inherent danger of convincing the cat sailors that things are not as bad after all and stop actively pursuing an uniform and coordinate youth track as discussed in this thread.

We shouldn't allow that to happen unless we want to be assured that the next time things are quiet around cats the organisations like RYA and US sailing will give it another try.
