The facts on the ground are not supporting the vision.
The original vision that Chuck promoted was a tough week long race that raised the bar over the weekend distance races.... A race for sailors... not a media blitz.
So.. the bullpen of F18 sailors racing in weekend distance races.... not so good.
It all depends on how you spin it... David and Goliath trying to get to the beach first on elapsed is a winning market plan
Two questions... can the organizers do the race on a limited budget.
Can the teams raise the money to fund the race for sailors supported by sailors model.
if one of those can't survive... you have a problem.
