Before one goes to far down the road of a soup to nuts independent multihull organizaton. ... you have to ask what's lost and what exactly do you need to fix at an international, national and local level for multihulls

Internationally, ISAF sanctions a world championship... I guess the last one was in F18's. (US Sailors remember that debacle well with Olli and Kelly but that is a local problem)

So, do we see a need to pull out of the ISAF championship area and create a new one? A related question applies for the youth mulithull championships.

My opinion... these are events for corinthian sailors... No need to reinvent the wheel here by trying to pull sailors into a new multihull organization.

ISAF also allows a class to brand a championship as a worlds after some conditions are met. If we pulled classes out of the ISAF sanction process and conducted them under our own authority... Will the sailors who particpated suffer the ISAF ban for competing in a non sanctioned worlds?

Again.. most of the ISAF classes are for Corinthian sailors and while pro's are welcome. The classes are chartered to conduct competitions for their corinthian members. So... again. why change anything here?

Since ISAF dropped the ball for the Olympics.... that is an obvious place to start. IMO, the Olympic circuit attracted the elite sailor to the pinacle of the sport. Most of these guys had to be proffesional or at least, semi professional to pay the bills. Those guys are the ones being screwed over by ISAF BS. We corininthian sailors are loosing as well with the loss of the elite level but really it effects our very best sailors.

IMO, The fix is to build an elite and proffesional competition that replaces and exceeds the olympics. We should leave ISAF and all of the restrictions, and BS behind and build a premier racing experience for the best in the world.

For me, the charter of an International Multihull Organization would make this kind of elite competition happen. That's it...don't try to control the whole world. The rank and file corinthian sailors would continue under ISAF and your MNA. We would welcome those sailors who dropped into our nationals and world competition to show us how well it can be done at our class championships.

ISAF will just have to burn after they discover that the most exciting and visually compelling sailing sport was completely independent from their touch and control

who knows... if we do this right, find the money, backers, PR people... what does the IOC say to ISAF following

the America's Cup on big multi's.
an Ishares circuit with 20 boats in major cites world wide.
An Ocean Race with international talent on big multis.

Hmm... a chance they just might order some changes.
