John,

I am a little at a loss here considering the medal winners from Athens as well. John & Charlie take silver on tornado and Paul & Kevin take gold on the men's 470. What are the prospects for 2008? I definately disagree with how the voting went, but also realize that there needs to be more active participation from multihull sailors in this process. With that said, how often do you want to deal with getting slapped around and pushed off race courses? I do a great deal of lake sailing and there are only a couple of events a year for multihulls because neither the monohull sailors or the RC wants to have them on the starting line. Yes, get involved, but sometimes the back room deals that get struck are more than a little frrustrating.
