I would be concerned at sailing members being over thrown from control of decision making, mainly affecting clubs that don't own building,other groups could band together and approach landlord.

There is a case, when a club diversifies, for wiring it into the constitution that only sailing members can vote at the AGM and the committee be composed of only sailing members. Many clubs already do this.

We allow all full members to vote be they Sailing, Honorary or Social.

As we are a pure sailing club though by default most of the committees are made up of sailors or ex-sailors. We share the lake with a fishing club but are currently in the process of buying the freehold which will give us control of the fishing rights as we will own a 3ft strip of the shore.

How that will work with the fishing club as a 'sitting tenant' remains to be seen.
