I took a USYRU PRO class at the St. Francis YC in '91. Took the test and passed. Turned in my info form to get a certificate of completion. The guy running the class said no YC membership no class certificate.

USYRU had been pushing hard to get the multihull and board guys to join. It appeared that USYRU viewed us as potential revenue opportunities and were not about to let us play with the "big boys."

I said sayonara sucker.
