I must disagree Mary, rally in todays terms is no more than a gathering of people with similar interests. Motorcycle rallies, Car club rallies, even RV rallies. Motorcycle folks can participate in timed drags, burnouts, etc. but thats just a part of the experience. Most of them just show up and hang out, exactly what Jake is trying to accomplish. Throw in some fun races for the noobs and some more serious racing for the regulars, everyone is happy! Sharing and showing will go a long way. How to reach the masses is where I get lost. As most of the fleets have dissolved getting in touch with sailors is a difficult task. Maybe customer lists from the existing dealers serving our general area? Maybe the mailing list for Hobie and Murray catalogs?Maybe just post up on all the sailing websites and see who responds. EMSA is only known by the sailors that race in our area, most if not all local non-racers aren't aware of EMSA or the website. Many use the Hobie forums, this forum, sailing anarchy and the beachcats.
