First Ill start a group with a cool name, maybe the "North American Youth Multihull Association". It will problably just be US sailors, but North American sounds cooler.

North American does NOT sound cooler to me. If I am sending money to this organization, I want to know whether it is going to go to support youth sailing just in the U.S. or also in Canada, Mexico, and who knows what other countries are included in "North America."

NAYRU went out of existence a long time ago and became USYRU, which is now USSA. Organizations that are trying to help people in sailing in the United States should say "United States" in their name, to parallel and comply with US Sailing. This applies to NAMSA and now to NAYMA.


So are you saying you will donate to US only organizations and will not donate organizations that include other North American countries? I can understand shutting out the Candians, but our friends to the south, that's just mean.
