MIRRORS VS JUNIOR NATIONALS

Whilst not being privy to the reasons why this "seemingly" unfair decision has been made, I fear that it again highlights what is wrong with Sailing in South Africa.

In our region the Mirror class is still represented in numbers, mainly and very importantly (in terms of this debate), in the School fleets. This alone indicates that there is a need and a call for the Mirrors to be included in any sailing event where they may make class numbers. Dinghy sailing is suffering enormously at present and to exclude the Mirrors may well worsten this situation.

Come on guys, lets all pull together and build bridges , let's build a sailing community, not cliques, even if it means sacrifices and compromises.
