Clearly ISAF and the RYA have closed ranks. It is now obvious the yachting authorities never wanted consultation with UKCRA in the first place.

The question is now, "what should we do to retaliate?" I have some tricks, but will not disclose them in a forum such as this, as it would forewarn the RYA.

First step is to get at the RYA sponsors. For example, I shouldn't think many of us will buy another Volvo!

Meanwhile, we could petition Volvo, and question whether it wants to sponsor an organisation that is no longer inclusive.
