The Multihull Council is still forging forward - we'll have the minutes from our Special Meeting up on the USSA website soon. They made a big sever move over the weekend and things are just now getting back to normal.

I have found that Mark's assertion is true - often, I am asked to not repeat or post something I'm told. Twice, I have said that I would not abide by the request, as I considered the information to be public and of great interest. Other times, it is in the interest of the multihull community that certain persons who divulge information feel safe in doing so. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Some might have noted that the US and Canadian submissions to ISAF were apparently not accepted. They do not appear on the agendas for the May meeting in Paris. There is additional indication that submissions will be due instead sometime before the November meeting. This gives us a little more time to make our case to the Board, but not much, as there will be discussions of "proposed events" and voting on a method of event selection during this upcoming meeting. All of this info is on the ISAF web site: www.sailing.org - look under Organization/Meetings/Forthcoming Meetings for a list of agendas and supporting papers.

In the mean time, the filing of a grievance with the USOC appears to be moving forward, though the USOC has indicated an electronic filing will not be accepted. Looks like there will be some folks going postal... using stamps, I mean... y'know? Snail mail? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The Multihull Council has been hard at work, talking to members of the Board and the OSC to make the case for a multihull event in 2012. Things are definitely looking up, and that is directly attributable to people like Mary, Mark, Jake and over 650 of their friends taking an interest in multihull sailing's future. Nice. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
