The honest truth is, no, I dont really want to add further topics for discussion, as I truthfully would like to see this forum laid to rest and a new one, sprung up by Mark, that better suits the needs of the sailing community, is a much nicer place to come to, is without trolls and keyboard warriors, is a good place for all to come to, feeling safe and that you can express a constructive and well-reasoned view without being jumped on and that those who like to posit conspiracy theories in much the same way as Trump does, are soundly given a good beating - am looking at you iGRF. And, just as importantly, encompasses all areas of sailing, not just dinghies, as a dinghy only group will not work. SA would not exist with its Dinghy section being the only forum. I dont know how this group ended up being a dinghy mainly. Why dont the other areas of sailing (VoR/TOR/Vendee/Cruisers/Cape31's/etc post here? Because there is no reason to. Make it inclusive and welcoming for all. Please let this forum be laid to rest as an archive and a new one to spring from its roots

I would imagine discussing the issue stated regarding female sailor could impact any legal issues so probably best to leave it alone on here, Y&Y more likely to be taken seriously than Facebook.

Totally agree , on the other hand after your recent decision, the only surprising thing about this situation is the fact it took more than one post for it to all kick off again .

Very true , I’ve NEVER seen anything like this at club level . But I have seen minor versions of it at nationals where women have had unwanted attention.
