 Topic: Ailing Club AffiliationPosted: 23 Nov 16 at 7:11pm |

Looking through the Draycote Dash results, I couldn't help but notice that Mike L entered under the club 'Cirrus Sailing Club'. Is this a marketing ploy? Is it allowed? Just curious, not meaning to stir trouble.

Not allowed under any 'stretch' of the RRS. This rather unpalatable topic reared its ugly head a few years back at one of the Sailing World Cup events, where it was quickly stamped on - and hard. The knowledge that this is in contravention of the RRS is not new, which makes entering under an invented, commercial (not to mention false) entity, one guesses for promotional purposes, into a move that could find itself subject to some fairly harsh sanctions. A cheap and rather obvious ploy.

Playing devils advocate for a moment; what's to stop Mike or anyone else forming a sailing club where the membership is closed? Where is it stated that the club has to be RYA affiliated ?

Hmm, the rules say (RRS75) that the boat must be entered by someone who's a member of an affiliated club or National Authority, or by an affiliated club itself. I can't find a rule that seems to say that the party entering must write that particular club name down on the entry form.

So, if I only sail at my non-affiliated holiday club (which has been the case for the last 10 years), who's sole raison d'être is to raise funds for the RNLI I would be refused entry to an open meeting under RRS75? No wonder the sport is in decline.......

You'll find every sport has a similar rule. Reason is quite simple: jurisdiction.

Gentlemen .....
Nice try - But come on get a life ! As is generally known I'm a member of several clubs, even including one daft enough to be RYA 'affiliated' for the record. I do suspect some are beginning to scrape the barrel for subject matter. And it is only the beginning of the winter ... Surely it is worth considering taking up a hobby if you've got it that bad this early - or reviving an old one ..... maybe even actually 'sailing' as we call it occasionally?  PS - If too cold/windy for you put on that old Anorack - or expand your old collection. Edited by Cirrus - 23 Nov 16 at 10:54pm |

Cirrus - the majority of people agree that you are the one out of line here.
Remember the big fuss about the tacky gimmicky of all the Speed Sails jockeys with sails number '55'. What rules can you break when you like, where do you draw the line? What if I turned up with a Blaze with a sail from Morgan sails? Raced my I14 without corrector weights? P.S. my opinion is it smacks a bit of the boy racer dodgy number plate spacing! |
