Feel free to define an elite sailor for me.. I think that is a fundamental issue for everyone to agree on.
We have the Olympics and the ISAF grade I events to figure out who the best catamran sailor in the country is... and we send them off to the Olympics to try for a gold.
We have a Champion of champions regatta already... It is for any sailor, who wins their class NA's to apply for and compete....IMO, these are 20 elite sailors. So... Matt Bounds applied and raced this event as a H17NA champ. Catamarans are not special... they don't get a mini-version of this regatta. Sailing is sailing.
So. What is the mulithull championship supposed to add to the big picture?
Who is the core constituency that you can count on to pay the time and money to compete for the US Multihull Championship and what does it mean?
