John Williams has led you to believe that US Sailing is making money on this gig.. False! US Sailing does not collect your entry fee... If you want to make a killing because you sell sponsorships like crazy and can pocket the entry fee.... Have at it.
Color me flabbergasted. Mark, I only post in this topic when something needs to be corrected. US Sailing absolutely makes money on the Championships. Every one of them. They keep over half the sponsorship cash, and charge the host $50 per sailor. It was $25 per sailor when I started volunteering in 1999.
Do you have facts to refute this? I have several years worth of budgets - actual numbers on paper from hosts.
Edit - and I have no problem with US Sailing making money.

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
