Lightbulb Basic Races
It seems to me that the RYA is actually doing something right IRO the basic race licence, yet the uptake is slow. Is it because the announcement was too late for you to take advantage of the Littlehampton offer, or what is the problem?

Not being argumentitive. I really want to know! What is the 'thing' holding you back from entering your boat?

Are you worried everyone will take the piss? Worried about the horible scrutineers bullying your boat? Is the cost too high? Where is your specific block? Why are you not entering the basic races?
