Olli,

Even if we do get organized and get enough clout so the IOC will listen to us I'm not convinced we will get the type of racing we want. I really do suspect the IOC will go the directing TeamVMG described and is that a goal we want to work towards? Speaking for myself I'd rather spend my energy elsewhere.

Also ALL large organizations carry some level of corruption and a national/international multihull organization will have the same issues. Some classes will be favored over others and those lesser appreciated classes will cry foul. No, burning the house down and starting over is not an answer.

Do you really think you'll get a following for a plan that basically says 'burn it down, someone else will figure out how to rebuild it'?
