Toy boat racer Greg Young scuppered HE may be racing toy boats but it's a hobby that Greg Young takes very seriously. The builder and champion radio-controlled yachtsman took the sport's governing body to the Supreme Court, claiming he was unfairly "black-balled" after a string of on-water incidents. He said he had fallen victim to "invincibly biased" and "bullying" officials who denied him a fair hearing. Mr Young, the one-time secretary of the Central Coast Radio Yacht Club, was kicked out of the NSW Radio Yachting Association last April amid allegations he had deliberately crashed into other yachts, abused judges and threatened competitors. In court documents, he said he had been left unable to race his radio-controlled boats after investing "considerable" time and money in the three years since he took up the hobby. "Racing model yachts has been my major recreational interest during the whole of this time," he said. Mr Young was initially involved in a stoush at a 2010 regatta, which he was barred from entering after he didn't produce paperwork for his boat. He kept sailing despite the ruling and officials accused him of blocking other yachts while getting involved in several clashes. About six months later he was involved in another racing incident which led to an altercation between him and the other man. Tensions between Mr Young and his club's president Allan Bicknell came to a head at an Australia Day regatta last year. Mr Bicknell "called" him for crashing into another boat and Mr Young allegedly fired back: "You're a f ... king idiot and don't know what you're talking about." He later denied making the comment but three months after the clash he was ejected from the club. Despite the ban, Mr Young tried to launch his boat at another regatta in May before a security guard intervened. He said the guard grabbed his boat's rudder and the yacht started "cracking," after which police were called and he was ordered to leave. He sued the association for unspecified damages and asked to be reinstated, claiming his ban was "unlawful and unreasonable." But in a judgment last week, Justice Michael Ball threw out the case, adding Mr Young was the one who chose not to argue his ban at a club meeting. He said Mr Young had not been denied "natural justice" and there was no evidence Mr Bicknell or other officials were driven by a "personal antipathy" towards him. Mr Young yesterday said he was appealing against the court verdict and that his lawyers had told him not to discuss the case. Both Mr Bicknell and NSW Radio Yachting Association president Robert Hales declined to comment on the case.s or if they might accept Mr Young back in the future.
