Really? I thought Tradewinds was a great turnout with lots of competition. Many racers left with awards based upon their sub-classification within the event. The youth got challenged by all sorts of competitors.

The yearly round robin overlay of the multihull championship on top of recognized catamaran classes' Nationals/North Americans would have been an inexpensive solution for US Sailing.

I am sorry to see the recent Alter Cup formula end. Those involved deserve a lot of recognition because it does not get any better than that and to do it with a limited budget also....hats off!!!
