The three US Delegates voted as they were directed - there were no "loose cannons." I expect that other countries' delegates did the same. There are coordinated international efforts to see some votes changed should the YA strategy of calling for a re-vote or a run-off prove successful. If you live in GBR or NZL or BRA or CAN, you should be working toward finding out why your Delegates voted as they did, and determining what it would take for them to rank the open multihull event above the men's keelboat event. In some cases, it is merely subjective on their part and quite easily reversed.

If the Council has a re-vote or if they have a run-off vote between open multihull and men's keelboat, we only need to pick up a couple of votes. Work on your MNAs - no name calling, threats or bluster.
