Check out Gary Jobson's acceptance speech to US Sailing on the USSA website.
Gary states that the Championships are important to US Sailing and must be promoted going forward.
So, a good turnout is important to our branch of the sport holding its place in this game.
Buy in by all catamaran classes is vital.
Photo's of F16's flying around at the championship with young people racing is just what we need at this critical time.
Finally, on one of the two issues that drove catamaran sailors nuts... mandatory membership, Gary said this in his acceptance speech...
Paraphrasing
I thought the mandatory US Sailing membership was a good idea and supported Jim Capron's initiative. However, there was an enormous amount of pushback. I will not ask for that policy in my term.
HOWERVER.... I ask that IF US Sailing helps you in ANY way or INSPIRES others... You should JOIN US Sailing.
So...
JOIN UP and SHOW UP at the Area D N and S qualifiers.
