Before everyone just dismisses this, whilst I don't necesserily agree with what was said and certainly not the provocative way its been said, I think the OP has actually just said what a lot of members of inner city clubs feel.

As we come out of the COVID crisis our governing body should be helping clubs to get back to where they were before it started rather than putting out yet more hoops for clubs to jump through in order to tick boxes for the next lot of funding or the RDOs next promotion.

If they did the former they would probably tick all the diversity boxes anyway so why make yet more work for volunteers?

You may go up to anyone in your club who has a bigger boat than yours and demand to be allowed to sail it. In some Olympic classes you may not race unless accompanied by a woman. In Scotland this person may be a man identifying as a woman. If the kids from the local tinker camp want to go for a sail you must oblige them (done that). Interestingly the RYA seems to know how many sailors there are in each of several unconventional orientation categories.

Has anyone got any views on this?

Yes, I have some views. Perhaps the irony regarding the tone of your post eludes you. Your post highlights the very reason why the RYA are doing what they are doing.

I am a white man who is nearly 60 so I had to google what woke means. Basically it means you are anti fascist, anti sexist and anti racist . 
That means I happy to be woke and I would hope most right minded people would want to be the same. 
I will not post on this thread again as I feel it’s just trying to divisive. Unhappy

Well said.
