"... is that supposed to be his job as president?"

Hopefully, listening to the membership will be part of his job.

I would ask him to do two things:

1. Take an active interest in the portsmouth ratings, particularly in reference to the Multihull council's ad hoc committee.

2. Promote a discussion on the Olympics. Under the current system we get only the fringe of a very bright spot light which is focused on the more popular sports i.e. track and field. Perhaps we would be better off in our own spotlight. Even if it is smaller and less bright.

I guess my vision of Olympic sailing would be away from the main venue and in off years from the Summer Olympics.

Hell, if people watch lumberjacks throw axes, we should be able to get them to watch Cats and 49ers.
