Why should "bloody" local yacht clubs matter so much ?

Is it that you are not a REAL sailor untill you've manage to acquire a membership to one and have a blazer to proof it ?

Cat sailors don't do YACHT clubs. They may be a member of a sailing club however.

Besides, did the yacht clubs feel that having 70% of all the olympic events wasn't enough for them.

Many many board sailors are members of a local yacht club ? Yet they have 2 events in the Olympics.

It is always the same story with the multihulls. They alway tell us that if we do another round around the field that they will consider us seriously. Suffice to say that there is always one more round to complete. And we are dumb enough to take it.

Hell, the biggest small boat sailing event for the last 25 years was the Round Texel (550 to 1000 boats). But somehow we never seem to have sufficient multihulls to matter.

Weird !
