'Old farts' .. are not necessarily that old at all. It is, if anything, an attitude that always suggests that 'times past' are of course the model to follow.. conveniently forgetting all the **** stuff that went with it. They also often seek 'more control' and limitation as the solution to almost any problem.
Equally do remember there are plenty with more than a few miles on the clock are NOT 'Old farts' in their approach at all.. |

Blimey, anyone who wants to investigate the idea of revamping the National classes is now automatically an old fart, and just plain wrong? And people older than 30 have no right to discuss the future? Sounding like current politics.

All becoming very divisive.
David H recently warned RYA thinking was turning towards pre War elitism. Presumably Foilers at top of tree, followed by? What is considered to be elite classes? Comet zero National champion already assigned to bottom. |
