Look at the bad press and our screwups that we must overcome.
The R33 capsizes and subseuently gets tossed from the California race cirucit. Not good

The Hobie Tigers sticking it to St Francis Yact club and not showing up for the nationals that the club was hosting... Not good.

Years and years of talking about a junior training program..
Still no program. Not good.
