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, 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.

In the interests of peace and harmony, that is probably a good thing.

No, No, Yes, No.

Will never work as it's unmanageable and unenforceable.

No, No, Yes, No

But this question is too simplistic and doesn't inform the debate.

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: Too expensive and bureaucratic to manage for bothe the CA and the clubs.

I am a CA member: YES

I am a CA committee member: NO but I am a Commodore of a SC and would not want to do this for the reason above.
