So... are you happy that the USA Pan Am representative was in a two boat fleet and went home after a day !?
Obviously, in New England.... He and the other guy were the only ones who cared about it
Sure in a perfect world, you would have a point.... but the fact is aprox 20 boats showed up and then punted on the qualifier.
Will the alter qualifier as a championship that has 3 boat qualifiers.. have any credibility as a US multihull championship.
Hell, yuou might as well just have an invitationl championship of champions.
