We multihuller's have always been the red headded step children of US Sailing.
I know JW is trying to change that and I applaude his efforts. Perhaps what we need is a "All Hands On Deck" call to flood every one of these meetings with Multihuller's? JW, do you think that would help or hurt our cause?
I know from past experience in the Monohull world just how -snooty- some of those slow boat skippers can be. Things have changed a bit with the newer Melges type sport boats though. There were some old timers who hated us J-24 "Young Whipper-Snappers" when we would show up.
Might have been all the alcohol though...
