[QUOTE=JRB12]The LA, I assume have taken the word of the chair, which is not worth a jot.

Governing body have had numerous items of evidence yet claim to have nothing to do

With club matters and won’t get involved. 

A process has been deliberately hindered to ensure a favourable outcome to exonerate 

Someone who holds a status in the club, yet abuses their position in the club. 

People have nowhere to turn so, resign as directors , where they will be liable for any misconduct.

Why was the LA involved in the first place ? 

Why wasn’t the health and safety executive involved ? 

Also why did the accused have a ‘ line manager’ . What sort of sailing club has ‘ line managers ‘? 

This situation is very very strange .

if it is a safeguarding issues the LA  would be the first point of call  

also  EHO  often  do  H+S  enforcement for smaller organisations 

 voluntary  organisations  have line managemnt structures 

 you are  , quite frankly, embarassing yourself  here 

Thanks but I think your last line could be seen as a little patronising   
Its just it is outside of my experience. I’ve been sailing for 35 years, been a member of 5 clubs ( some small and some middle sized) and been a committee member of my current club  for 15 years and have never ever met a ‘ line manager ‘ . 
Yes I do understand why a LA COULD  be involved, I was asking why it was on this case( I had missed the post where the OP explained )  and why it appears  had no input or scrutiny of the process. Which is what the OP said happened, which seems unlikely.
My problem is not with story , its the view point the story has been related to us from . 
This story as told to us is ‘ strange ‘ on so many levels and that is my last comment on it
