Mark,

I was on the organizing Comm for the original Trimaran Nationals in 1995 and served as what is now known as the 'PRO.'

Ian was onboard the committee boat, and Trey Ritter was on point with the ratings. We have used the same handicappers and discovered fresh talent since then. Our system is the most nationwide system there is for production tris, one - off PHRF vessels, and recently, we awarded a DPN for a foiler.

Do not even use your cat rhetoric or BS on me regarding production trimarans. They are coming in force to a region near you. Within three years you will see an emergence of F 22s and Wetas turning the eyes of the kids.

The youth love sailing on the boats with their parents and friends so they can learn seamanship.

You and Mike steer clear of any trimaran babble you might wish to conjour. The fact is having members on a vocal committee is not quite the same as having a committee in working hands.

Watch your waters or lose your rep with the tri guys.
