There are siginificantly more judges that are familiar with catamarans (that aren't active racers anymore):
Paul Ulibarri (IJ)
Means Davis (IJ)
Doug Campbell (USSA Senior Judge)
Kim Kymlicka
. . . just for starters.
Dave and Barb Shafer too.
But isn't the point that a registered athlete would have to be one of the judges?
