Can you elaborate alittle more on what the benefits are that we get from US Sailing. You mentioned a couple above, but I'd like to hear alittle more detail. I'm not trying to be snide and poke a hole in US Sailing, but I'd like to know more definitively what the benefits are. I haven't renewed my US sailing membership in years and would like to hear what the motivation is to do so. I certainly appreciate all the effort put forth by you and the rest of the council. I just wish I could hear more positives.
I agree wholeheartedly that we need to infiltrate the existing clubs... We all need to be ambassadors for catsailing. I think one of the main problems is that catsailors tend to fly under the radar (although windsurfers are even worse, so I'm not sure how they got an Olympic slot). We need to be a bit less independant and make a few compromises to fit into the infrastructure that comprises sailing. Beach access is not going to get any better so we need to get a foot hold now.
