Bob *you* surely didn't actually believe the government when they said that did you?

Great isn't it.
They go on about how great this event will be for local businesses and the community, and then they no only exclude them from making money out of it, but they also stop them doing their regular job aswell.
How marvellous.

Temporary Navigation orders and Royal Marines with automatic weapons would do the job nicely... When a coach boat set off on its own at the Athens Olympics due to the coach having forgotten to attach his kill cord the Greek Navy simply shot it out of the water... |

For sure, I expect there to be exclusion zones which will be patrolled by Ribs, but I can't see how they can stop you from wathing from outside it.
We've watched AC cuppers racing and the Volvo going off in the Solent. What's so different?

large shipping is often "protected" by local (harbour) bye-law where there's an appropriate authority. I'm pretty sure there will be legally enforced exclusion zones (there may even be something buried deep in the Olympic Act if anyone cares to go wading through it)- after all, they're going to want to stop you driving through the middle of a race...

wouldn't worry on that account - THEY WILL FIND A WAY
SECURITY these days allows authorities a lot of power , and they will be bricking it on that respect come the olympics .
Guess there'll be officially expensive ways of on water watching .and you thought sitting on the grass with a telescope would be expensive
up our way subs are surrounded by an exclusion zone , enter at your peril , I hear large shipping too soon Edited by catmandoo - 08 Feb 11 at 2:51pm |

I might take the barge down to watch for a couple of days. I can't see how they can stop you sailing/motoring around the bay.

not legally transferable via outside agencies (ebay etc)- as noted on there, there will be a resale system, but it won't be active until "2012" at the earliest.

Agreed it's ridiculous.
Are tickets transferable in any way? If so expect Ebay to be in meltdown after June. |

Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else
