Is the RYA a regulator or a representative?
It has been suggested that the RYA’s response to any proposed legislation to restrict or even regulate boating activities - something which the RNLI’s Director of Operations is on record as calling “...unnecessary and trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist” is more likely to be:-
“Oh yes Mr Government minister Sir, we’ll agree with your proposals (although we reserve the right to make a few insignificant cosmetic amendments) so long as we’re allowed to police and regulate it in the final event”
rather than the more appropriate - and infinitely more popular with boating folk:-
“This is entirely unreasonable and the RYA will oppose such an imposition at every stage since it is entirely contrary to the interests of our members”
Isn’t this really the way the RYA goes about things and the main reason why your staff at the Boat Show were taking so much flak and why we, the members should have little faith in how you will put OUR interests first, which is what you are supposed to exist for?
