A) Not my job, though the Council has taken an interest due to input from people like you. You're welcome.

B) This is exactly what I mean by doing homework, Pete. Who is in charge of Portsmouth numbers? Does the Multihull Council have any authority? Who has authority over the Portsmouth Committee, i.e, under what authority was it formed? Have you discussed your position with anyone that is in a position to actually do anything about it, or are you just mouthing off? Your beef is with regatta organizers as you have stated it - what the kiss do you think I can do to make someone not give separate starts to boats that make class? Get real or go sing your song to someone who doesn't already know why you're dissatisfied. You can probably hold their attention as long as you held mine.

ps - a tip; don't slag off the next guy in line or tell him his or her volunteer efforts are not worthy of your respect once they explain that your concerns are outside their ability to address.

Edit: Pete, why delete your post?
