To weigh in on the separation issue here. It is a very simple issue to debate; Are there enough multihull sailors around the world that are willing to get involved, stay involved and make this truly happen? If there are, then a separate organization is possible and the multihull world could benefit from it's existence. The question to date has been volunteers and support, without both there can be no International Multihull Council/Federation. I believe that that meeting in Australia last evening was to form a Multihull Council within YA, but I am waiting to hear from Phil Jones on the meeting.
