We would have to come up with some serious cash.

5K up front for consideration. Returned if not selected
30K more if selected for entry.
25K for Damage deposit.

If my math is right that's 60K just for starters.
Travel, Food, and hotel for 14 days I would assume be covered by participants or parents?
Coach fee would have to be covered somehow. Not sure I would guess around 5K for coach fee depending on who you get.

Not sure how you cover all those costs.

We could run it through Carlyle Youth Sailing School (CYSS) as a 501c Non Profit. Then CYSS could cut the check of 5K to the ACRM.

I think raising 5K would be pretty easy. Raising the rest might be harder.

Also would need to have a board put together for the selection.

I say if the team doesn't get accepted we donate the funds to the Hoyt-Jolly fund.
