I don't comment on the minutes because it's a work in progress. Imo, any serious comment is premature I'm just glad someone is working the problem and trying to build concensus and interest among the rank and file.

Personally, I don't like the term "elite". Imo it has a pejorative ring to it unless it is accompanied by a truly impressive resume that includes high achievement in international competition. I would limit elite to those with Olympic or World Championship medals.

"What will Multihull championship look like?" I'll restate my opinion of what I hope it will be. A large open regatta, run on at least two different courses: one for us partiers one for the serious sailors trying to win the Alter Cup. The "Cup" fleet should rotate among the several different classes, possibly coinciding with that years national championship.
