If there's one thing Graeme isn't it's a shrinking violet. 😎

Should be an interesting first meeting if he gets in, sitting opposite all the people he has slated.

To be fair to Graeme, he was pretty good at marketing Mistral, ran a successful Windsurfing show and was not an a***ole on the Windsurfers Importers Group (or whatever it was called), so behind all the bluster imo he could be a good representative for the club PY racing classes ... on the other hand ...
Happily living in the past

I'm reluctant. Aside from being busy (I know, I know, we all are) phrases from the interview such as:
...we can analyse performance and start to suggest revised Portsmouth numbers on a monthly basis,

Our biggest challenge is persuading clubs to adjust away from the numbers that we publish. It's a simple thing to do...

I think sometimes they go outside of the parameters that we're constrained by...
make me think that my views are too far from the establishment thinking for me to be useful.

Well you can't change anything from the outside, that much I do know about the RYA, and we did run a very successful committee with them for quite a few years in the early windsurfing days, providing you get someone from their side that also has some vision.

In the real world, offline, I'm a businessman, have been all my life and you don't get to do that by being unreasonable and knowing apologies cost nothing. I already chucked my hat in the ring, it would as I said be churlish not to, particularly after all my criticism, if nothing else one of two things will happen, they'll tell me to piss off, or I'll finally get to find out why they can't make it work for all of us and I'll bow out apologetically to all I've slandered over the years.

As for being roasted , like that's never happened before..
