What the hell is wrong with these people? We all know plenty of uptight, sphincter-clenched yacht clubs (STFYC in ‘Frisco comes to mind), but these clowns take the cake. Paranoid and clearly trying to control every narrative that comes out of CYCA, this sort of clampdown is censorship, plain and simple.
And we have no doubt that the investigative reporting from Sailing Anarchy is the primary reason for this nonsense. It makes us both lol and disdainful of a club that thinks this okay. We are also fairly certain of who the individual behind all this is.
Thin skin much?
“The Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA) would like to remind Members of the Club’s protocol regarding media interviews. To ensure consistent and accurate communication, only the Club Commodore or approved representative is authorised to speak to the media on behalf of the Club.
Recently a Member of the Club was interviewed after a sailing incident that occurred on Sydney Harbour. The information that was shared during this interview was inaccurate, leading to potential misunderstandings about what had transpired. This highlights the importance of ensuring that all information shared with the media is accurate and comes from an authorised source.
This policy regarding our media communications is in place to maintain a unified voice and to protect the integrity of CYCA’s reputation. Members approached by media for comments or interviews relating to the CYCA are kindly requested to direct all inquiries to Club’s Media and Communication team.”
