John you are the one who bubbled up only because you needed to provide input because you DECIDED YOU NEEDED TO CORRECT ERRORS.
and you spun out the "correction" in about as biased a way as possible.... leading one person to think that US Sailing was making money off of the sailors.
And your error correction was to move the ball forward HOW exactly... for 2012-13 and onwards.
I would be happy if you would just shut up about the debate. I got it... you want US Sailing out of the championships... You. Dave and Tawd are going to build that new event.. Go for it. I can even put your name beside the idea.
We will BE WORKING on 2012-13 ASAP.
So... What is an elite sailor? What is special about a championship? What should One design Classes Do with the US Sailing Multihull Championship?
So far... I have heard: get sailors to lend their boats and run the old program. Get a big sponsor and work in the existing system. Get a big sponsor and toss the system creating a new championship. Borrow boats and get a manufacturer to provide new sails for the regatta and then resell them... for the marketing value of stickers on the sail. Charter boats and use the Rolex and HJ money (2K) to provide sails for the charters using the same format ???
