It is true I was trying to get a response. I hope that the Tybee continues to raise the profile of our sport. Perhaps, as yachting in general focuses on faster boats sponsors will line up enough dough to cover the costs of equipment and such. Of course that leads to another danger, having the Tybee become a "pro" event. I'll leave that for another thread and see if anyones back gets up. Great to see a Dutch team coming over and doing so well!!!
