It's always a partnership. US Sailing is us, not them.
But, the racing on the AC course, which everyone (including you JW) raved about, was Liz's idea and she used board-level connections to make it happen.
In the planning stages, I thought it would detract from the event, and am glad I was proven wrong.
As for the MHRC, we see ideas floated, but need people to step up and make them happen.
