On 7th Dec the Australian multihull community are coming together at an evening meeting at Gordon NSW to discuss formation of the Australian Multihull Council.
Invited and attending are many of the states catamaran clubs plus representatives from manufacturers and associations.Phil Jones from Yachting Australia will also be attending.
AMC is being set up in direct response to the ISAF Olympic decision to dump the multihull discipline.
Its first task will be to work together with Yachting Australia to overturn this provocative decision.
AMC will also work to ensure that catamaran sailing is retained at the ISAF world championships as well as the ISAF Youth Worlds.
Similar bodies have formed or are forming in other countries to ensure firm pressure is applied on this issue.
Further the group will be holding on the night a nonbinding ballot to determine what Catamaran type would most suit the games criteria as well as the catamaran community as a whole.
The other main issue on the agenda is youth and youth class development.
It is hoped by the clubs and classes working together as AMC will be able to design programs to ensure and build our most critical resource .
There is a meeting on Friday this week in Sydney about the formation of the Australian Multihull Council.
I think there are a few issues here. What does everyone think?
