Lots of issues covered in brief.

YNZ needs to take note, they seemed to be well down the track of following the old WS leadership policies.

From the new CEO, who seems to pretty on the ball:

" In my opinion far too much emphasis is put on the Olympics at the expense of other elements of our sport, and this unhealthy emphasis is not actually reaping rewards."

Absolutely right, and YNZ have been obsessed with the Olympics for decades for the same financial reasons. The rest of NZ grass roots yachting and I include keelboats in this hardly gets a look in.

Agreed. Our club has dicussed that we secede from the union. We pay a large amount for very little in return. The 5 ring circus eclipses every other avenue .There is a token visit from Regional rep occasionally for centreboarders. Nothing ever for keelboats. We are a cash cow  for YNZ  Take away the Olympic funding  and there's the conumdrum for the executive so they have to focus on medal count for their own well being. I think we pay $35 a head . For what ?  Half the members are social members but YNZ has that one covered. Not to mention double and triple dipping for people who belong to more than one club. But YNZ will continue to ignore these murmurings until .....well maybe this is the start ?
