If you are Oracle... what do you want from this program...???

Max PR value in every sailing region of the country. AND you want the selection process to drag out for as long as you can make it.. (You don't give a fig if your team wins...)

The San Fran boat was part of the deal to support youth sailing IN SAN FRANCISCO... we sent in lots of ideas for clinics and partnerships... Oracle went this way... San Fran seems to have bought in as well.

Hopefully the ideas (see above) sent up through the MHC and US Sailing wind up on the proper desks.
