What they dont want is the multihulls to go their own way..


What direction do we spin down under as we spiral down the toilet? That is certainly the way we are choosing to go!

Let's see.. We have few leaders... and even fewer people who are willing to follow... Oh right!... "we be cat sailors". the iconic rebels without cause or focus.... bent on proving the old adage... ... You can't herd cats.

Anyone have a plan to solve the demographhic issues...
that they noted... WHAT A SHOCK IT WAS WHEN THEY SAID... Cat sailors are OLD... MALE... and represent just a handful of rich countries in world wide competition. WHO WOULD HAVE NOTICED SUCH A THING.

Oh.. and we could have as little as a year to start having answers and results for these problems.

No worries!... we get to blame ISAF AGAIN for pissing on the multihulls when they don't give us TWO Olympic spots.... Hell we should be happy if we can hold the skiff juniors off and preserve some space for the Hobie 16 juniors.

When all that you have is an argument that multihulls are the most spectacular of the sailing classes on TV.... but yeah... the TV appeal of any sailboat race is on par with watching grass grow... AND THAT's WHAT THE SAILORS SAY. You don't have much of an argument. Photogenic is not going to trump lots of competitors world wide competing internationally.

The fat lady is warming up.

We might be better off focusing on the viable world wide classes and regional classes and not worrying about an elite level of international competition.
