I feel that before responding to your poll - I need more information. The primary information I require is concerned with why do you ask?
Are you plotting an alternative - perhaps the BBA - (Balvicar Boating Association) and if so- what benefits does a long-standing member of the RYA get if they transfer? Also - as I have a plethora of RYA qualifications - are they transferable and will they enjoy equal rank and status within the global boating community?
In particular my RYA Beginners dinghy award is very dear to me as are the Intermediate and Advanced awards - none of which were obtained without pain, diligence and fortitude.
I think we should get further into the season. Tyres have been a crucial decider so far. On the other hand it is time he won a race, if it's ever going to happen.
