doesn't it all come down to getting them hot for sailing a cat at a young age
I think it does. The question is how.
Walk into a class room of 13 year olds with a survey asking:
Who is your favorite Skater, Rider, Ball player, NASCAR driver and I bet you will get a lot of answers.
Ask who their favorite sailor is and I'm sure they won't have one.
Maybe I'm thinking to big here but I work for a Park sytem and have sat in on a meeting with the director of ESPN outdoors and listened to how they make Bass fishing popular.
If fishing can become as popular as it is there is hope for us.
Our parking lots are full of pickup trucks with very expensive bass boats being driven by twenty something guys.
They have their favorite angler, buy the same boat and use similar equipment.
So can we get the media coverage and create the idols to make kids come home and ask to go sailing or young proffesionals to spend their money on a boat.
