Please be advised that if you are using the web your comments are in the „public domain‟; any defamatory remarks or statements could well fall under the laws of libel (the written word), (slander being the spoken word). It may only be a short while before anyone allegedly maligned may take legal action against those who have allegedly maligned them. So, please take this as a warning to check your facts before committing to print, otherwise it could prove a very costly legal exercise. Also bear in mind that this may also be viewed by the RYA as “Bringing the sport into disrepute”. We are not asking for censorship, but merely request that you write and converse with a bit more caution.

"Wise" words from JF
From the UKOBA Thread:
"Martin, I won't have that kind of talk on this website.
My life, and just about anyone's who takes part in sports like ours, would be a f*cking lot richer if litigation, and the promotion of it, were banned, so on this site, it is. END OF.
Your post has been removed."
