Hi Folks,
What are the things that we need to do to promote our sport? Cat sailing is just as sexy and exciting as or more than typical mono/dinghy so why are we suffering? There must be some marketing type that can help us with a few things we need to do.


I see the biggest issue being public access to the sport both to view races and to get out to try it. We are planning an event that will do everything we can to include the public including:

1.Leeward mark close to shore so poeple can watch the race
2.Public access to the beach to view us rigging and launching.
3. Making the time to talk to the public and offer rides
4. Helping people new to the sport feel welcome.

Also a lot of clubs that I see are gated and a newcomer can't even get in to see what is going on unless they know someone.

What can we do?

Dave
