The only thing I'd say about pulling the pin on ISAF is that IF, and it's big 'if', cat sailors could get themselves sufficiently organised to develop cat racing competition into a marketable commodity, and done correctly it has extraordinary potential, IOC would fall over themselves to gain rights to a piece of the action. We are talking $$$$$$ and that after all, is the language of the IOC.
And the converse is also true in that if we remain a weekend 'turn up and sail and go home' organisation, we stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting anyone to listen to anything we say. It really is that simple IMO.
