Hi guys,
THE 2011 MULTIHULL COUNCIL ANNUAL MEETING WILL BE HELD ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, FROM 8-10 AM EDT, AT THE US SAILING MEETING IN ANNAPOLIS, MD.Here is the link for the overall US SAILING meeting:
http://about.ussailing.org/US_SAILING_Meetings.htm. Here are the MHC bylaws:
http://about.ussailing.org/Bylaws/Multihull_Council.htm . Read them and expect to conduct business per these bylaws. This is a US SAILING meeting, and is an open meeting. Be aware that in the past, we have had non-multihull visitors attend our meetings.
Multihull associations are voting members (class associations, regional multihull organizations, etc.). Please forward this notice to any and all US multihull associations, and ask for their representation at this meeting.
Can’t make the conf call, I’ll be sure to give the F18 proxy to one of the board members but 8AM EDT is a bit early for the west coast guys especially on a Saturday morning but I’ll see what I can do.
Please make every effort to attend this meeting. We need US SAILING to see how passionate we are about our sport, and taking an active role in directing our place in the future.
Don’t we display our passion almost every weekend with the number of quality regattas and outstanding National and International Championships? What more do we need to show US Sailing to demonstrate our passion for the sport? Are we still trying to validate our existence within US Sailing? Have they not noticed what platform is being used for the America’s Cup?
We will have teleconference capabilities, but really need a show of force.
The primary focal points of this meeting will be the annual elections, as well as working on a path forward to improve relations and multihull member benefits with US SAILING.
Can you please explain what you mean by ‘improve relations and multihull member benefits with US Sailing’. Are we not getting the same membership benefits as everyone else? If not, why not?
