I have to say the Feds would probably require roll bars and crash helmets as well as pfds in their Opti program. So I'd be opposed to involving government.

However, the notion of a Florida Multihull Foundation has occurred to me. A few of us who are older and have a few extra dollars might pledge $40 a month for a year or two to reestablish cat sailing, probably through Opti programs aimed at promoting graduates into cats.

A few guys and a little time would produce a significant amount of money to work with.
