Hi all, I am now also able to run a club and the feedback above is very useful, although mostly confirms the shortcomings that have been identified along with some workarounds. I also have contacted the person at the RYA in the UK who is the primary contact for VRI with a note explaining that I am part of a couple of forums where there is discussion about making VRI optimal. I have asked of that RYA contact is able to pass on some constructive suggestions and pass back a reply from VRI (or just put me in direct contact). I'll update here if that approach goes anywhere.
