Jimmy savile got it when he died, Maggie gets it also, FFS this world needs to allow their families to morn the loss of thei mum, grandma, sister etc and not rip into what they did when they were alive.

She would have privatised the start line, made it illegal for working class boats like GP14's Enterprizes, to flying picket, Mirrors would have been sent to wapping, there would only be room for FatCat Finns and the odd city boy in an Int14.
The Rules would have been conducted in a secret ballot, shares sold in the RYA which would just be called British Yacht Ltd, LPE would have had its gates locked ages ago and production sold to the French our youth would be sailing La Sere's.
Everything else would be subject to boat poll tax and sailing club premises sold off to tenants who by now would have hi rise apartments and penthouses rented out to familys of the better off.
There would be a tax on wind and it's use by the knot and square metre.

Had she been a dinghy racer, I can't help but think she'd be the one sailing towards the right end of the crowded starting line, on port, against the 'flow' of <angry/scared> starboard tackers, in an overpowered Wayfarer, quite possibly with shark-teeth bow motif, not bothering to even look under the boom to see if anyone was coming the other way, never mind give way or even acknowledge their presence.
