NO, YES, Yes, Yes. I definitely think anyone who races in class events should be a member of the CA. I also think anyone who wants access to information about rigging, tuning, building, designing etc should be 'encouraged' to join the CA by getting their money's worth. We have a lot of pretty generic information on the 'open access' website, with loads more specific stuff available to members, including a 'member-only' forum/email list.

No, no, no and no. Not that there is actually a class association anyway. If a class association is doing their job properly and sailors feel that joining will add value to their sailing, they'll join. If not, they won't and they shouldn't be compelled to - unless they're doing class events organised by the class association. |

No, Yes if fleet racing in a class with a class captain (who would be the conduit to the CA), no if handicapping in a mixed fleet (as unenforcable), yes, and yes.

I think another mechanism is required to fund CA's that lowers the admin and stops the "free loading". Build a very small figure into the club subs and make the clubs pay the CA's. To keep the admin simple only fleets with 5 or more boats need pay. OR may RYA memberhsip compulsory at club level and then the RYA fund the CA's that would be even easier. OR build it into insurance - everyone HAS to have that. Rick |

THE VOTE: I think CA membership should be compulsory for all club members: NO I think CA membership should be compulsory for all racing club members: NO Main reason: Do YOU want to be the person standing with a clip board telling people to go home? I am a CA member: YES I am a CA committee member: NO

If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right

Hmm, interesting food for thought.. might start looking at how I can ignore the 2 boat length rule at the mark.. the RYA can't force me to do it so it's pretty unenforceable.. the admin in a protest is too much as well.. don't get me wrong I think that people should follow the rule if they really want to.. and are perhaps sailing at an ISAF event.. but at club level.. not really no. LOL :-) |

Just a thought ... how about the builders make a significant contribution? Some CAs adminiter their OD builder licences and charge a fee. Some SMOD builders are better than others. That way the builder is funding a service for their buyers. |
