Wouter,

I think you are right in your thinking about what "they" think "serious events" are. I dont think it is malice, just no interest. Much like me and monohulls, I dont get excited about them. But looking at a Formula28 like http://www.linderson.com/xoz/ gets me going. I guess it works both ways, with some sailors mingling with both. Problem is one.. culture(??) have all the power.
