Rohan blasts the RYA...
Good old Rohan Veal! The Sailors World Sailor of the Year, is pulling no punches on his must-read Moth blog. This time the RYA get a couple of barrels regarding the yardstick rating of the foilers...Go Rohan, Go! You'll have millionaire buffoons ringing up your sponsors and suppliers next demanding that they don't support you and trying to shut your blog down (wait until I publish this story)....been there bought the T-shirt! Don't let the buggers get you down... Here's an extract from www.rohanveal.com - check it out for the full story: So it seems that in the UK, they do not want to create any divisions within the Moth class (bearing in mind that the Moth Class in Australia has had three divisions now for over three years, ie scow, skiff and foiler) as apparantly this will somehow create some confusion??? The RYA have enough trouble managing just one handicap for the Moth fleet let alone three, so I can see their concerns. However our handicapping system is a bit more organised and segmented in Victoria considering most of our racing uses these yardsticks. Photo: Thierry Martinez (www.thmartinez.com) Full Story »
