It would be interesting to know how they justify this stance when the US Sailing submission to the ISAF advocated both mens' and womens' multihull events, according to the recent report that Rick posted from the Multihull Council meeting.

That report also indicated that 305 US Sailing members competed in the 2007 Alter Cup qualifiers. Personally I can't see any reason to retain my membership. It would probably be viewed as a small gesture I guess, but if 305 members resigned en masse it would at least indicate what the cat community thinks about this.
