a useful example- although not every kid who has a go in a Feva will end up working in the industry.

you're right it is choice... but I do find it quite sad that in order for a child to participate in 'elite sport' they have to effectively licence their own image rights, and become a poster boy/girl for the RYA and their Sponsors to make a commercial return on investment.  

Frankly that bit should be optional- I guess most would be happy with the exposure, especially any that by 13-15 have ambition to make a career as a pro sailor..... but it shouldn't be mandatory, not in corinthian sports anyway.

Granted but it does use words like appropriate and reasonable so if you did have a kid with elite skills who didn't want to do all that stuff then I think there is enough wriggle room to get out of that.

From what I have seen though the kids with squad jackets seem keener on posing around on shore with all the sponsors kit on than getting out there and enjoying the sailing but then that is another discussion.

haha... yes, and I'm sure it would only be the 'trouble maker' parent who a) asked the PR team to STFU if it was becoming too much and b) put their kid in that position.

But if you over-expose a kid to the adult world too young, then it may not be a very wise move... a simple look at the number of child stars from mainstream media of TV and film who end up in rehab or generally are a bit f*cked up, is testament to that.... it's not a model of parenting I think we should aspire to, and frankly I find the RYA a little crass for thinking they need to make young stars out of talented sailors... there's plenty of time for that when they're older and choose a life that comes with media attention.

Back to loan boats - nope.  The excellent Sailboat Deliveries delivered a massive shipment.  Jubby and Pippa have some great shots of the vans in some tight Italian corners.

My old Feva travelled to Tuscany. They have enjoyed the worlds. It makes for a holiday as well as a regatta.

We had a team travel north for the NSSA. If you plan correctly the cost can be split and it worked well for our club. Next year it is closer in Kent.
