First of all, there are no US Hobie National Championships. We have a North American Championship, which by the way, has not been won by a US citizen in a while. Mexicans, Guatemalans and Puerto Ricans have been dominant.

Secondly, US Sailing does not support individual class championships. They conduct various "discipline-based" national championships - men's, women's and youth single-handed, double handed, triple handed, multihull, keelboat, match and team racing.

Thirdly, for many years, US Sailing has supported (with direct $) US citizen Hobie Sailors attending world championships.

I'm not happy with US Sailing, either. I'm just as involved with the organization as John Williams. Your approach does more harm than good.
