The RYA will boycott another Olympics?

   ......but then the games will be over and you'll lose any of the games hook that you are using to gain publicity now?? Literally no-one would be interested in your cause if this wasn't an Olympic year as people's attention would be drawn to other sailing matters.
I think times have changed since 1980. The world, media and politics are a completely different place now. As mentioned above - look a F1 - their organising body are now happy to send the teams into potentially dangerous places regardless. No political influence there - just cash and sponsors!
