Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I don't understand what you're saying.

Maybe what you're saying is true for some of the organizations that you have direct/indirect experience with. BUT...

I am telling you that the racing clinics and learn-to-sail events that we've run in D12 were hosted by Hobie fleets, and all the volunteers were... wait for it... ACTIVE RACERS!!! And, not all of them were Hobie sailors, some raced other beach cats.

We knew it was absolutely imperative to keep the thing going. There is no growth in racing if you're only training the same people, you have to keep new blood coming in.
