Gentlemen,

Please Remember the Second Rule of Diplomcy: In Order to be able to effect the outcome of any negotiation first you have to be at the "table" envolved in the process of negotiating.

I just spoke to "Kate" on Monday at US Sailing, she is in-charge the Membership/Renewals. Really nice lady ... so be nice .... But ... CALL HER ... Make YOUR position known to the leadership of US Sailing!!! Our $$$$s' and membership numbers do mean/count for something! When she is able to go to her boss and say " I have ALOT of Multihullers calling and telling me that they are very displeased w/ our leadership here at US Sailing, they are all renewing their memberships, and there's alot of them, saying that; We, the multihullers are out here participating in racing sailboats, and we are coming for you, the leadership .... and we WILL make our presence known".

See our numbers .... now hear us ROOOAAAAR ...

I am going to a US SAiling Race Management Seminar at the end of March at Miles River YC. I WILL be wearing my LOUDEST BRIGHTEST Catamaran Regetta Event Shirt and I will make my presense known to the US Sailing Representatives there.

I AM A MULTIHULLER ... IGNORE ME AT YOUR OWN PERIL!!!
