Grahame, you continue to take no responsibility for your own behavior and actions, all you do is attack and blame myself for everything. You draw a very long bow blaming ME for the drop in membership in 2013. You twist every comment made to make yourself look good and put down anyone who challenges your bad behavior and actions. That is the behavior of narcissists and bullies. It is not in keeping with the NZMPBA Constitution or intent or purpose of the organisation.

You have even now admitted to allowing people to run with no failsafes at two regattas (were there more?). You made a very vocal point declaring the rule and penalties for breaking it when you were at Tauranga. You should have been subject to those penalties yourself. It just shows how definitively your hypocrisy sits.

Well Steve maybe you are rite..... Just maybe the whole thing is broken. Look at it like this. A few years ago the Offshore series was huge by NZ standards 20-30 entry's every event. Then the rules where played with and played with some more. All of a sudden regattas are almost struggling for numbers. The PC was one of those trophies that ticked away in the back ground and no one really paid much attention to until some one from the SI won it and then NEK minite the rules of that are being changed. Now here we are. I guess what i am saying is the constant changing and adding of rules is part of whats hurting the association. Example A. The fail safe rule. Good idea in theory Maybe..... maybe Not. A twin nitro rigger for example running at say 140kph (and i'm sure any Muppet with half a clue could get one running at this pace) has a total receiver power loss what is going to stop that boat from running away?????? One Muppet has an issue with a petrol boat having a total receiver power loss and and runs away ( In all my years of boating I have never had a run away boat) all of sudden boom new Rule......
Just My 2 cents for what it is worth....
