"Its more disappointing rather than interesting that the US didnt show up. Winning without beating Guck, Melvin, Kinder, Hall, is a rather hollow victory. If you add up all the world and national titles that the US has in Acat sailing, you'd have a nice long list and lots of those guys are still racing. So in my opinion, this world championship will always have that as an asterick. "

You need to get yourself a blazer and get on some ISAF committees, then you can start administering the 'world championship' franchise and take it off classes that you don't think are worthy.
There are always guys that don't show up to any race, no-one has the right to assume that they are better than anyone else without competing.
You gotta be in it to win it.
You should appologise to all the a-class sailors for demeaning their championships!
