I quite like the idea of Kite Lessons for Finn Sailors.

Is Sailing best served overall by involvement at the Olympics ? Maybe .. but maybe not ....

Without the Olympic money the sport would suffer. For a start just look at how it would hit the RYA.

In what way ? Sailing was arguably a lot more popular before the pursuit of income streams by national bodies became the 'be all and end all' we are now so familiar with. Modification of the sport to suit the attention span assumed for TV viewing for example ? ... well how successful has that has proven in supporting and spreading the sailing message thus far ? Money can help - well yes but only to a limited extent. So don't let kid ourselves any bucket of money, spent as now, will solve much. Edited by Cirrus - 03 May 18 at 5:15pm |

Agreed, the Olympics and the common man are more separate now than at any time in the past. If sailing were not in it, then maybe our blessed Governing body would be forced to turn it's head back to the grass roots and pay more attention to the needs of the many rather than the few. We don't need armies of psychobabblists physios, nutricionists etc & vast amounts of equipment and transport, we need just a little more love spread wider.
Screw World Sailing, it's got absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with what most of us do, exactly the same relationship as Fifa and coats off for goalposts on a saturday morning. Edited by iGRF - 03 May 18 at 1:42pm |

losing sailing from the Olympics would be sad because of the loss of history but the best thing ever for club sailing. The Rya could focus on grass roots sailing and abandon the squad system which turns out a few excellent sailors whilst turning most away from sailing long term
