But only a water-skier could think they weren't anti social and dangerous to others.
And yes it is classed as a sport but so is motorcycling and you wouldn't want me screaming round and round your front street on my bike just because its classed as a sport.
Every single water skier in the channel is breaking the law, that's not the minority
thats a very bigotted prehistoric view to claim water-skiers are all law breakers!

Ive had fishermen motor right under my bow when sailing, and had to take avoiding action to miss sinking them, so what, stuff happens
so what,stuff happens?? that's a very disturbing attitude to have where safety is involved!!
as i have said before
education not exclusion is the way forward! i'm sure most of the members of our club have water-skied at sometime so by inviting water-skiers and pwc users to join the club we can educate them on the rules of the road and if they still don't comply we send them packing
with the extra membership funds they bring RYA training courses could be set up which would be a benefit to members old and new, ask any child what he would rather do sail or ride a jetski? i know what majority would say. so if we want the club to keep going for another 50 years we need to appeal to the younger generation and not just be an elephants graveyard.
commodore thanks again for raising the issue and trying to bring the club upto date
