Situation
A national radio sailing association is affiliated to the World Sailing national authority but there is no system to directly affiliate the radio sailing clubs to the national authority.

Question
Does an event organized by a club affiliated to a national radio sailing association conform to rule 89.1 when the national radio sailing association is affiliated to the national authority but the club itself is not directly affiliated?

Answer
Yes. An organization may be affiliated to the national authority either directly or through affiliation to an entity which in turn is affiliated to the national authority. This is subject to any terms of affiliation from the national authority or the entity.
