I just spotted a Tweet by Elaine Bunting reporting the appointment of Sara Sutcliffe as CEO of the RYA.
Sara Sutcliffe was until a few hours ago the CEO of Table Tennis England.
Elaine’s Tweet quotes the RYA’s Tweet announcing the appointment and comments:
“New CEO’s first stated aim is regarding the Olympic pathway. The org relies heavily on multimillion £ funding from UK Sport”
Here’s the RYA Press Release:

Now, I can understand that the British Olympic sailing team is jolly important, but it has absolutely nothing to do with me.
If the RYA appoint a talented lawyer, administrator and lobbyist as their Chief Executive on the basis of what she will do for what she calls “the Olympic pathway”, that’s fine, but please could I have a national body for messing about in boats that represents the rest of us?
