<<<<This whole multihullers don't volunteer idea is BS.
The problems we face are large, not because we're lazy sacks.>>>>
I don't think anyone is saying there aren't quality and enthusiastic cat sailor volunteers.
However, most competitors in any sport rarely see very deeply into the organizational side of their passion. You just can’t step in with a whole new scenario and expect consistent results.
Both the current system and a new one would require leagues of volunteers on the beach and on the water. The higher level positions need experience and stability and that usually doesn’t come from casual volunteers.
For Catsailors to strike out on a new tack now would only segment us further. Remember, not everyone will board the boat when it leaves the dock. Once it sets sail and the lines are cast off, fate will take it’s ugly toll. The only option that is viable is to take over from within. That requires understanding the enemy, so to speak, and working within the guidelines set forth. That can be productive with the right people and the right attitude.
I think we have the right people, perhaps they could use more support.
