So a number of people have expressed that they think the PY system is run on a closed committee and don't listen to anything that's being said. So now's your chance the PY committee are looking for new members are are happy to have people who are not happy with the ways its run . I believe its get involved as you seem to have so much to say some of which has been downright offensive or shut up! See interview with Bas Edmund on this website

.... surely a no brainer for GRFi then ? (But then would you want to be a member of any 'club' that would have you ...)
 Perhaps more seriously (well maybe alongside GRFi that is) I'd propose Dougal. |

Thanks Mike - maybe some cause and effect taking place here. The time has never been better for there to be at the very least a rethink - and yes, maybe, the result will be, after a great deal of consideration, that what we have now is as good as it will get. But let that debate be in public, with methodologies fully explained. If I am wrong to think that we could do better, that the grassroots dinghy racing community actually deserve better, then I am wrong - sh*t happens to all of us. But at least anyone who is bothered to look will see where I went wrong and hopefully, where the path to being right may be heading. Did I mention cause and effect? Well, away from this forum, where the comments were at one end of the response scale, there has been a lot of far more positive activity and yes, people wanting to do something 'different'. That 'different' may well be outside of the current RYA/PYAG thinking as the opportunities for innovation there may be limited. D

I actually want to take back some of my comments about the RYA being out of touch that I made last year. I think I was basing my views on my experiences that were out of date and what I have read and seen more recently gives me new hope and admiration. Just saying!

Does anybody really think they're opening their doors beyond the establishment? I very much doubt it. It would however be churllsh not to at the very least volunteer my hat into the ring, haven't exactly spotted the mechanics of doing that just yet, somebody should also get Peaky on the case he's quite a clever bod and equally enthusiastic.

Mark: So, if someone has read this article and wants to get involved in the RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Committee, how should they apply? Bas: We have a great chap called Rob Taylor who looks after the day-to-day aspects handicap racing in the UK, covering both the Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme and the National Handicap for Cruisers. Contact Rob (rob.taylor@rya.org.uk / 023 8060 4236) and he'll put you in touch with the chairman, Chris Gandy, and we'd love to get you involved. It is definitely a committee where more input strengthens the scheme moving forwards. I would rather see an active sailor making the case, so I hope iGRF you make the call |

I was told by someone who ran a club PY adjustment system to Rya numbers that you know you have got it right when EVERY sailor feels hard done by!. Its just a little hard to rig your boat whilst a line of people wait to give their views. Bless them for being willing to step into the firing line
