Thanks Peter - and to everyone else who is still focused on this effort.

We had a good discussion on the current state of affairs on the MHC call yesterday. Of particular note, the following countries and classes have made submissions to ISAF on this issue, either on equipment or on re-opening the vote;

Great Britain - 2012 Host Country
New Zealand
Australia
Denmark
France
Russia
The IHCA
NACRA
AHPC (Capricorn)
International F18 Class

There will be a motion to the US SAILING House of Delegates on Saturday from the MHC on this issue as well.

Most interestingly to all - we have had very productive discussions with the Olympic Sailing Committee and members of the Board of Directors (including President Capron) over the last couple of weeks, which intensified in the last few days. I think we're in a whole new place as a result. You're justified if you view this with skepticism, but I'm literally holding my breath as the Board meets tonight and the House meets on Saturday. The next few days will be critical from a US perspective, but the small avalanche of submissions to ISAF this last week cannot been seen as anything other than a very positive thing for multihull sailing worldwide.

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
