Listen, I am not trying to make a federal case out of this. I am a bit put off by the fact that we had a good conversation, i told him what to expect and he agreed that whatever the outcome, it would be okay. I went out to the div chairs who in turn went to their fleets and asked EVERYONE if giving a one time pass on the class rules would be okay for the Alter Cup event? It got everyone talking about it positively, I even heard alot more discussion about participating from the 16 guys. Well, once it didn't go their way, I didn't get an acknowlegement of the email I sent to Kevin, nor did I get wind of the Boat change. I was asking alot of the Div chairs and fleets in the HCA-NA to get this poll done quickly and with minimum of fanfare and did my best to pave the road. Now, I feel like I was pissing into the wind. I am not mad about the boat change, that's their deal. I just would have liked to know about it, so I could tell the Hobie guys about it, rather than them reading about it on a catamaran forum.
You guys gotta do what you gotta do. To bad we couldn't figure out a way to all do it together.
