HOW could the America's Cup support your particular Class or Multihull Sailing in general (Big and Small Cats/ Tri's)?

Gary Jobson, US Sailing will be meeting with Russel Couts (Director of the America's Cup) in about 3 weeks. The MHC is taking up Gary's invitation to submit our best ideas of how our classes, fleets and communities could work together to grow the sport.

The America's Cup group is very serious about this goal and has already committed to getting something like 100,000 kids on the water in San Fransisco.

My new job is to pull together these ideas and get the complete set of ideas in one document and draft the best ideas to the MHC for Gary to read and hand to Russell.

So, I will skim the cream from this thread and would happily include all thoughts emailed to me at mschneid AT msn.com
