Content is unbalanced and contains errors

I may return to turn these comments into improvements, but this article does not provide a good description of the activities and organisation of yacht and sailing clubs in the UK. For example, the role of rear-commodore and vice-commodore are the wrong way round.

Hi Bruce! When I researched the duties for vice and rear commodores, I came across this from the RYA website http://www.rya.org.uk/sitecollectiondocuments/sportsdevelopment/Web%20Documents/Volunteering%20-%20Resource%20Centre/Retain/R39_rear_commodore_sailing_duties_version13.pdf which outlines the duties of the Rear Commodore.

[Untitled]

What constitutes a "well known yacht club"? There are many yacht clubs but what constitutes "well known"?

I removed Wabash Yacht Club, West Lafayette, IN from the Well-Known yacht clubs. This is actually a bar, and is in no way a yacht club.

Is the well known yacht list relevant? ie Well known to who? If you are a member or live in the vicinity then a particular club is well known to you but not the general readership of the article. The category Yacht Clubs is far more usefull. I recommend that the list in this article is deleted. Boatman 12:46, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Again - Recommend this list is deleted as the same content and much more is covered by the category "Yacht Clubs". Boatman 19:52, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yacht Sqadron

Is there any difference between a club and a squadron? Is the head of a Squadron more typically styled "Admiral"? Or are all of the differences simply a bunch of words? 154.5.26.224 15:57, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! I've added our BHYC burgee to the article as an example. Have a nice day. Aloha27 10:15, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion Category talk:Yachting races

You should know about this and comment. One of our editors has systematically depopulated it (perhaps from this article among many others), and thinks that is a good reason to delete it. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 14:35, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have made my opinion known on that talk page. Thanks for the head-up on this. Much appreciated. Regards, Aloha27 talk 16:47, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
