My thought is this:

With one spot for the US, I don't think that the blue blazer crowd would be that stoked to let a team of rogue cat sailors take it. But, a grass roots effort to get one or two on a team would probably fly. I anticipate fierce competition.

I'm generalizing, surely there are many capable youth cat sailors, that have the cred, and also have affiliations with YCs or College sailing programs.

I think some central organization (US Sailing???) should quickly come up with some sort of broad vetting process that doesn't exclude the rogue element.

Or...one of you needs to write a check for a couple a hundred grand.

It'll be interesting to see how this all shakes out. Surely once a viable plan is in place, sponsorship money will roll in.
