I agree with Bob on this one. I can't say that I've ever benefitted by US Sailing in regards to catsailing, save maybe regatta insurance for organizers. I got a nice course sticker, of course, but Jake and Robi can make those (for a lot cheaper as well). If catsailing is going to grow in this nation, it is not going to be with the help of US Sailing.
I'd be more than willing to pay my dues to a US Catsailing or the like...
