Does anyone fancy explaining how someone can put a National governing body down as their sailing club?

I see it at loads of events, theres always someone racing under the " RYA "

Surley only Olympians or Staff ( ? ) should be able too do that?

Cheers,

James

James,

This is where they are not members of a sailign club but are personal members of the RYA.

You need to be affiliated with the RYA to do 'Open' events I believe. Most people get this by default through their club but there are those who only do opens and for them there is no point join a club so they join the RYA instead.

Some people do it because they only do opens. It saves them paying club fees and doing duties.
