John,
I have another procedural question.
If the MHC decided to move forward. Would the formation of a measurement ratings committee be passed on to a separate committee of USSA or would it/ could it stay under the MHC. The catamaran volunteers will do the same work but under who's jurisdiction. (Non answers to these kinds of questions and history are the reason that we have several large multihull handicap measurement rules now in use in the USA (We have three rating rules on the east coast alone!). These are truly a mess and we must avoid this fate at all cost!
