Another very successful meeting for us. Thanks to all who came out to San Fran and to those who called in.

The US Sailing reorg is done, and our group has maintained our constituency-based structure and purpose.

Highlights of the weekend included a tour of the Oracle compound, which included the boat building facility (no pics allowed), and I got reacquainted with Defender, the mark boat I served on at the AWCS event in Newport.

Had some great discussions with John Craig and the commodore of St. Francis. Lots of great potential here for 2013.

Last night, I wrapped up the weekend with dinner with some dedicated multihull folks, then wrapped up the evening with the new US Sailing president and some board members.

You just can't miss these meetings...

More to follow.

Mike
