The RYA position is clear. The has spoken their thoughts about Cats in the Olympics by way of ommission. It is their belief that by not stating in writing that they want to pull multihulls from the Olympics, that they have no stance against them. The omission itself is the answer to their stance on the issue. It is also a way to distance themselves from any backlash should cats get dropped. They now can say, we did not speak out against cats, we just took a neutral position. That though is rubbish. It is clear that the RYA hopes that we will go away having been appeased by their latest statements and forget that there was even an issue or question. This way eventually they or USSailing will try again.
