The Yoof, D-Oneing, Lasering and more...

Originally posted by Bootscooter Rather than sniping about a young lad with ambitions, why don't you go and read Nick Craig's reports on this very website, about how Cam trained and raced in the D-One first before slating him, or do you rate your opinion higher than his?

Apologies to all if I over-reacted there..... I only posted the original message because I know there's quite a few Forumites that know Cameron and may want to follow him on his page. Cam's been involved with the RYA Squad system for over 5 years now, working his way through the pathway in Toppers, L 4.7s, Radials and now standards. He loves his sailing for sailing's sake, not just squad-chasing and this is something I've encouraged, with him taking opportunities to see life outside of the pathway by experiencing OKs, Spitfires and crewing the Alto. Variety is the spice.....

Originally posted by kneewrecker sounds like you are doing it right then Boots.   Perhaps get the RYA and laser stuff up on that FB page though.... it is probably far more important if the pathway thing is serious.

I'll mention that to him - perhaps a sailing biography piece at the intro.....

I think that the page is his first step of social media stuff to assist with future sponsorship bids - I'm a complete biff with this sort of thing but I believe that the more followers/likes/whatever, the more helpful it'll be when making proposals to companies.

And you also need to stress what you can do for them, not vice versa.
