Those gusts from above...
The eight point fifteen knots bit annoyed me. Eight point one five, surely? Nice idea, though. Reminded me of some of those 1960s sailing films with that commentary. |

Absolutely....much more to do with that than the squad burn/drop out thing....the offer from the clubs simply isn't good enough. And it's remarkable how many quietly discriminate against children and youth.

Yes a bit different to UK Cherubs. I still think it is a shame (even though I was on the committee at the time, use my boat as a test boat and voted for it) that the UK went twin wire. But we don't have the same sailing culture here and the UK Cherub was getting pasted by other classes at the time. It's doing OK now... although should amalgamate with the NZ R-Class skiff is you ask me.
Don't you think that youth drop out has more to do with the UK Club culture (UK sailing class perception) than the type of boats? Being that AUS is a meritocracal society?
