I CANT SEE WHERE RACING TRIANGLES CAN MAKE A SPORT THAT IS WELCOMED BY ALL TO DIMINISH. YES THERE ARE GUYS WITH BIGGER FASTER BOATS AND GUYS WITH SLOWER BOATS. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE DIFFERENT CLASSES AT REGATTAS. NO MATTER WHAT THE BIG BOATS ARE DOING IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SMALLER BOATS. YOU RACE IN YOR CLASS AGAINST BOATS WITHIN YOUR RATING AREA. I FEEL THE DECLINE IN CAT SAILING IS DUE TO LAZINESS. PEOPLE ARE IN SUCH A HURRY NOW THAT TAKING AN HOUR OUT THERE DAY TO RIG A BOAT IS JUST TO MUCH TROUBLE. PWC, KIAKS , ETC. ARE EASY , FAST , AND ALL YOU DO IS PUSH A BUTTON. I THINK IF "WE" AS SAILORS COMMIT TO PROMOTING THE SPORT OF SAILING WHICH "I" LOVE TO DO THAT WE CAN BRING IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS IN THE 80'S. DONT COMPLAIN AND BLAIM. PROMOTE THIS SPORT , HAVE SAILING SEMINARS WITH YOUR LOCAL YOUTH . SHOW PEOPLE IT IS NOT AS TIME CONSUMING AS THEY ALL SEE IT AS. THATS MY .02 DOUG KLEM<br><br>
