Let's look back into history and discover how it can easily repeat itself. Remember Major and Sue Hall and the U.S. Boardsailing Team (circa 1985 - 1992)? They chose their events based on where the most competitors from other nations would attend. They sailed in major Oly events in Europe but stressed continental racing for more time on the water, rather than fund raising campaigns/traveling to make appearances and speeches etc;

Maybe the "US Catamaran Team" would be an interesting target for investigation.
