 Topic: nows your chancePosted: 15 Jan 18 at 10:20pm |
I'm reluctant. Aside from being busy (I know, I know, we all are) phrases from the interview such as: ...we can analyse performance and start to suggest revised Portsmouth numbers on a monthly basis, Our biggest challenge is persuading clubs to adjust away from the numbers that we publish. It's a simple thing to do... I think sometimes they go outside of the parameters that we're constrained by... make me think that my views are too far from the establishment thinking for me to be useful.

To be fair to Graeme, he was pretty good at marketing Mistral, ran a successful Windsurfing show and was not an a***ole on the Windsurfers Importers Group (or whatever it was called), so behind all the bluster imo he could be a good representative for the club PY racing classes ... on the other hand ...

Should be an interesting first meeting if he gets in, sitting opposite all the people he has slated.

If there's one thing Graeme isn't it's a shrinking violet. 😎

I was told by someone who ran a club PY adjustment system to Rya numbers that you know you have got it right when EVERY sailor feels hard done by!. Its just a little hard to rig your boat whilst a line of people wait to give their views. Bless them for being willing to step into the firing line

Mark: So, if someone has read this article and wants to get involved in the RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Committee, how should they apply? Bas: We have a great chap called Rob Taylor who looks after the day-to-day aspects handicap racing in the UK, covering both the Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme and the National Handicap for Cruisers. Contact Rob (rob.taylor@rya.org.uk / 023 8060 4236) and he'll put you in touch with the chairman, Chris Gandy, and we'd love to get you involved. It is definitely a committee where more input strengthens the scheme moving forwards. I would rather see an active sailor making the case, so I hope iGRF you make the call |

Does anybody really think they're opening their doors beyond the establishment? I very much doubt it. It would however be churllsh not to at the very least volunteer my hat into the ring, haven't exactly spotted the mechanics of doing that just yet, somebody should also get Peaky on the case he's quite a clever bod and equally enthusiastic.

I actually want to take back some of my comments about the RYA being out of touch that I made last year. I think I was basing my views on my experiences that were out of date and what I have read and seen more recently gives me new hope and admiration. Just saying!
