It's just more fun in the bar when you sail boats that everyone can relate to a bit, and it's more fun afloat when you are not trying to weave an F18 cat between yachts and Optis using the same marks.

Getting clubs located within the same area to be complementary to each other (rather than competitive) seems to be a neglected but quite important facet of the sport.




A lot of people in the Solent area are members of more than one club.
Or at least sail at more than one.
Some people race cats at one club and keelboats at another.
Some are in a dinghy club mostly for their kids while they keep a yacht at another club.
Some race yachts part of the year, dinghies in the winter or a different evening.
Some move their sailing to a different club, but still socialise at the old one.
Some members of club x have reciprocal rights to race at club y.

Some just join a cheap club and blag as much as possible at HISC.....

While you're all in wonderland, why not add "sponsored by a gazillionaire so the subs are only £40 a year"
