If I was reading that 2006 US Sailing report (page 10) posted above, they have over $3,000,000 in the bank, in "Investments".

I think they could solicit funds from the major oil companies who are now touting "Green", like BP, who's comercials I see every day telling how they are investing $90 Billion in Solar, Wind and Hydro energy. That is the definition of sailing.

I agree with those above, I don't want a Gubmint run program, I was in the Military 9 years, I've seen how much money the Gov. can waste and they usually end up screwing up a good thing.
