Jake, our experience with the "Fast and Fun" program over the last three years has been very positive. See http://www.ussailing.org/multihull/fast&fun.htm. Note the reports and pictures from the events.

It is a little hard to quanitify in actual new sailors, but every one that has taken part from the volunteers to the participating Outreach Groups have all had a great time.

We will continue this program with our own boats from Sail Sand Point. US SAILING no longer has the trailer and equipment that toured the country. It is now up to the local Sailor Clubs, Fleets and Schools to carry on this excellent program.
