Damon's right. The attention and recognition is what this sport needs to revive it. There's not a beer swilling, football loving armchair quarterback in America who doesn't know what the America's cup is. And that race is not even exciting unless you have a real appreciation for sailing. When we can expose what the real thrill of catsailing is to the masses in armchair America, we could well spark a resurgence of the sport. Who knows where it could all lead, we could even have real fleets again, instead of a bunch of limping decrepit old mismatched 30 year old beachcats competing against the one or 2 guys in fleet that can buy the nice boats.
