OK, how about everyone calm down for a minute and think about what Chris said...

"I have yet to hear anyone say anything really positive or helpful in trying to figure a way to grow our sport and make it more accommodating to our aging, recession battered masses."

Here's an idea. Everyone who is SERIOUS about moving forward in a POSITIVE direction needs to drop their personal agendas and think about this.

Anyone in IWCA who was planning to come needs to contact the organizers and be recognized.

Hobie Cat can supply charter sails for the event that could be offered free of charge to the IWCA sailors.

IHCA, HCA-NA, IWCA and Catsailor and anyone else with a dog in the fight can chip in the cash to fund the charter sails as a GOOD FAITH effort.

Load up the sails with all the sponsor logos you want, who cares, if you're serious about getting more Waves racing at big events within the Hobie class, here's your opportunity on a silver platter.

Problem solved.
