Dan,
I don't think it was really just about this particular conference call. I think it was just built-up frustration from many years of watching the same few people doing all the work of the Multihull Council.
When you think about the fact that this call was INSTEAD OF having to fly to Newport, RI for the spring meeting and having to stay in an expensive hotel and take time off from work, I would think that many people would have taken advantage of the opportunity.
I kind of wonder how many people would have participated in the call if ALL the U.S. cat sailors had known about it, instead of just the voting members and other volunteers. I don't know whether that is feasible, but it would be nice if more people could see (hear) what goes on at these meetings -- and maybe more people would be inspired to jump in and volunteer to help. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
