How Do you think that ISAF being lobbied or blasted by a group of pissed off activists will do anything?
In fact... The US Multihull Council DID effect a change in the policy. Thank god that we did not count on a seperate organizations or we would be really behind the eight ball.
I think you need to explain How forming a new group NOW will do anything....
I believe you once raised the question... "How come cat sailors don't join yacht clubs?"
One of the consequences of our choice to not belong to the establishment of yacht clubs ... is that we don't have any power when the establishment has to decide on this kind of issue.
Decide is an interesting word...similar words are Homocide, Fratricide.... basically it's root is to kill off).
So... as the powers that be decide what to kill off... those with no power (oh say... those catamaran sailors who don't play ball with us) ... get killed.
The solution to me is.... join the clubs... run the clubs.... wield some power...
Do you think that US Sailing would try to kill off cats IF the top Racing Clubs in the country had cat sailors on their boards of directors, a junior mulithull development program and active racing fleets of cats?
IMO, No... they would kill off somebody else. This entire mess is about power and our organizational lack of it!
