The Dutch problems originated some 30-35 years ago. Of course since then the KNWV has learned that they made a serious mistake back then and try to regain some portion of the action. That was a different time back then and volunteer work was still highly regarded, much more then now. However I'm sure we can do it again. Afterall with guys like Darren Bundock and Rohan Veal pushing in that direction I feel we have a great shot at this. Make these guys ambassadors and find a few volunteers (others call then "tools") to organise the new structure on the background. I'm convinced it can be done.

I'm also convinced that if we take up Rohan Veal on his idea to combined the Moth/Bladerider class with the racing cats and in a true high performance class that we will succeed internationally and probably even be able to extend this organisation later to include womens HP skiff and mens HP skiffs.

A while back an idea was floated in NL to combined the formula classes (+A's)into one single cirquit, combine all our resources and volunteer man power. I feel this is the time to make that happen. Again with ambassadors like Bundock and Veal, we got a great shot !

Lets do it !
