But then he changes his EMail address, or does not bother to read the serious stuff in amongst the spam. It is better for our cause to change it as suggested by Simon

Cheers

I know !

 

just couldn't actually decipher in lay terms what scooby was saying !- delete whole entry and resubmitt ??

will give it a try .   (edit - done )

 

but doesn't take einstein to work out an e address for Mr Car , take any organisation web address and prefix with someones name with a dot an 9/10's you get a legit address , guess if I've worked that out spammers are light years ahead .

anyway lets get lots of letters - and we need a petition (one petition we can all sign ) thats what they did in US .

Close, but not enough.  This forum software keeps the HTML behind the text and so the bots will still see the email address.  You need to delete the whole thing and re-add it.

Click your post and it still resolved the email address.

 

OK

Done (I hope)

I have just drafted a 'letter to sailors' which I would like to get published in Y&Y.

It is a little non PC in places, especially one comment.  I am about to pm it to all people who have contributed in this thread so far for comments.

I want to send it off early next week.

What one has to ask is why the RYA 2012 submission is basically the submission the USA wanted to put forward, HOWEVER, they were stopped by petitioning their countries Olympic Committee and made a radical U-turn and inluded 2 cats in their draft resolution!!!

Perhaps the aim is between them is to keep the status quo? Who knows and whats more do they care....answer I think is a resounding NO!!!!!!

We should clarify what the RYA are doing, some of us seem to be missing bits;

they have made 2 submissions to the ISAF Events committee that will be sitting in early November.

These are 2 of many submissions from many national authorities and classes

The 1st RYA proposal contains a list of proposed classes for the 2012 Olympics. it does not include the Tornado.

The 2nd RYA proposal contains a list of proposed classes for the ISAF youth worlds for after 2009. The H16/Sl16 is crossed out and replaced with the 29er.

 

The gist of this is that they do NOT support a multihull in Olympics for 2012 but they are AGAINST Youth multihulls after 2009. Slighty different stances to each.

If ISAF decide to ignore these proposals and there are cats in ISAF events, then I'm sure that the RYA will continue to fund training on cats [grudgingly i guess]

There is no point in having a youth cat if there is no olympic cat.

the picture is a bit bigger than youth cat sailing, its top level cat sailing in general that will have a shake up if these proposals are successful.

Oh heck - you are right. I had missed the other one.

The link to it is

  http://www2.sailing.org/meetings/2007november/papers/Sub_103 .pdf

So it is even worse than I had figured.

Keep up the campaign guys.

regards

Bob
