Mike, I can't let that sail by without pointing out that the restricted funds are still there. Would you share the balances of those funds?
I also would remind you that "way too much" is a matter of opinion. The committee had success negotiating an affordable charter fee when the manufacturers felt they got reasonable promotional value; something that eroded over time.
I *fully* appreciate you think the format this year was the only way to make it happen. I hope that the rumors that members of the committee feel the *sailors* are to blame for poor attendance this year are unfounded.

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