Hi Tom

Your comment brought to mind a recent US Sailing newsletter on youth sailing. They pointed out that kids on boats are alot like adults on boats in that each finds something about the sport that intrigues them. Racing was one aspect. 204 has great committed parents who support their kids in cat racing and they should be acknowledged. (I am guessing the Ingham is Mike Ingham's kid?)

They pointed something out that I had never considered... Just like adults... some kids liked tinkering with boat gadgets while others liked cruising with their friends.

Perhaps others have anecdotes of kid type activities that are keeping kids attached the bigger picture of cat sailing.

Take Care
