Jake, I wasn't attacking anyone. It is irritating to constantly be asked what the benefits are, what the goals are, etc. when it's just as easy for people to go to the US Sailing site and look it up. Where do you think I go for the answers???
If you look back, you will see that I (and Mark and probably others) agree that the MHC can create a list of guidelines and best practices for those in local negotiations to use.
David, I respect your decision to not join, even though I think it is misguided. "Access to sailing" does NOT mean "access to the beach" and you most definitely can sail without access to a beach. I've given other options throughout the discussion.
Don't like the idea of going to a YC or CBC (me neither)? Do the legwork to make local access happen (that's what we do locally here).
