Actually, the scheduling for the Multihull Championship was dictated by the Worlds, not vice versa. We even wanted to snug up closer to the Worlds date, but the host club is in Long Beach and the Grand Prix is going on the week we wanted. No hotels! Trafica grande! Que mala suerte!
Jake - I feel your pain. I'm going to Worlds because I've always wanted to do one, but this will be the first SF I've missed. Really wanted a shot at first place 4.3 to round out my trophy collection of second, third and fourth.
