I would also change the qualification process. As Tornado Alive noted... you have to get to Europe... and that is real money.
Sadly it is more than just qualify. You need to get to Europe for real cat racing. You need to mix it on the European circit to build the experince, then later to prove yourself against the International fleet. Fact is, if you have not got serious $$$$ behind you AFTER buying a boat, you have no chance. Forget just tallent..... You need tallent and $$$$$.
Olympic sailing is a profesional, big dollar sport now days. If you want to make it more within reach, force sailors to work 9 to 5 in a regular, non industry job for starters.
