Sorry Jack if I misread your earlier post.

As far as your concern with causing a disruption with the multihull community by presenting a different system. That concern is really a non issue. An OA can use any system they wish right now, so it's nothing more that putting another system on the list to choose from. Currently USSsailing does not mandate that a USSailing santioned event must use DPN. For example as the Area D South rep I could have the Area Elims scored using SCHRF (relax people DPN will used for 2009 (maybe)).

The issue sitting in front of us today (actually yesterday) is taking over Darline's responsibilities. Darline has served the sailing community well and we owe here a great debt and it's time to give her a well earned break. Let's get this action item off the list then focus on how to improve the handicap system in the US.
