The following is a letter from Rod Carr addressed to all those who wrote to him in person to complain:
Hello all, You took the trouble to email me some weeks ago expressing your disquiet at the RYA position regarding catamarans, specifically the selection of a cat as an Olympic event.
We all know what happened at the ISAF conference.
This email and letter, which has been sent to every MNA in the world plus the ISAF council - is the main plank of the RYAs effort to get the November decision reviewed and hopefully overturned.
In order for this to happen we need to 75% of the ISAF Council to agree with us. We have been working hard behind the scenes to gather support form other MNAs.
To be honest I don't think individual protest will cary much weight with ISAF, however, if you can bring any pressure to bear on other MNAs using any international contacts you may have ...now is the time!
Regards,
Rod Carr.
Chief Executive, RYA.
75% is going to be tough so if you can influence your MNA, now is the time.
