There is a sand bank out there which comes to the surface at very low tides. It is possible that the legends are based on a vague passed down memory of a time when there really was land. Church bells, I can't quite see.

But I still don't really want the GP14 in the games... not when the Bermuda Fitted Dinghy is an alternative!
By the way, the "fitted" bit refers to the keel that gets bolted on the bottom to keep the thing upright. The K2 really isn't that new an idea. |

If there were to be a Commonwealth Games sailing event, presumably we'd need some additional entries in Appendix G
Obvious ones: England ENG Scotland SCO Wales WAL (or maybe CYM?) Northern Ireland NIR Jersey ? Guernsey ? Isle of Man ? Edited by alstorer - 17 Jun 14 at 3:46pm |

Not thought about this before (and a little off thread), but if Scotland goes independant will every Scotish boat need to be reregistered. If they want independance, why should they use GBR? Jon |

SCO would be available, but as Royal institution couldn't the RYA still be the MNA for Scotland? After all, I don't think the 'better alone' campaign are advocating dumpy Bessie for Nessie are they?

No more than they could for Australia I'd have thought.
If they do vote yes, the big bonus for me is no more long drives to Largs for national events. |

RYA Scotland is the governing body for Scottish sailing. They do have their own championships, but some of these are more as if they were a region or zone, rather than a national championship. That's the impression I get from the website. I dont know if you have to be Scottish to sail in one of their events. In athletics you do have to be English to compete for England Athletics.
