I have read post after post of complaints about RYA, I personally believe they are doing ok, I will vote to stay with RYA.

On the Training side I think they're doing quite a good job.
As with a lot of sports, I think the performance pathway side needs to take a good look at athlete welfare and duty of care. |

I think the training side works well for "sailing schools" but is less suited to a sailing club than it used to be. It seems focussed on getting pieces of paper out quickly rather than generating good members that the club will retain. There is room for both systems.
I think the whole pathway system needs a revamp to keep those on the pathway scheme and their parents a part of the clubs they represent. The running theme is that sailing clubs, in my opinion, get something of a raw deal from the RYA. You can't really replace your governing body, i just live in hope of some reform.

I have taken on a club role that puts me in contact with the RYA's support functions for the first time. I am impressed by the variety and thoughtfulness of the support that is available to clubs if they choose to take it.

The first two options are the same - the RYA is a continually changing and evolving organisation.
Some may say for the better, others for the worse; but one thing we can all agree on is that the RYA has changed, and in likelihood, will continue to do so. |

Clubs can tweak the system to suit their needs. For kids, we use the Stages as a framework. For adults, it is trickier, as they tend to have limited time, so a weekend per course tends to be what works. However, if a club wants to integrate new sailors, more support needs to be offered by the club and its members. The RYA can only be a small part of that.
Do I think the RYA could change its priorities a little? Yes. But I'm sure all members feel that way. |

Open Question, Do you think people would pay a nominal membership to be part of a dinghy racing association, and do you think events would subscribe to it?

We run our Cadet Week which is a mix of doing the RYA stages combined with fun activities (sailing games, free sailing, bit of racing). It works pretty well and when you get a group of kids together they really drive each other on.

That would surely depend on what it did, or aimed to do? What sort of things would you see such an organisation doing - that would differ from what class associations and the RYA do now?
