Hi Eric,
At the Ch of Ch in Wisconsin on MC Scows we had two cat sailors.., Alex Shafer (Inter 20, I believe) and I (on Wave). Didn't seem to be a problem.

But, then again, these classes get pretty good media coverage. And the only reason Isotope doesn't get any media attention is because no one ever sends reports of the regattas out.., I know we don't get reports on the your events.
Of course, we don't get reports on any events, i.e., I have been bugging the following event organizers to send something.., anything:
Hobie 18-20 NAs at Clear Lake, Iowa
Hobie 14 - 17 NAs at Rehoboth
Broken Mast Regatta in Tennessee
Cat Fight in Muskegon, MI
Greg Witter Cup
Crac Lighthouse Race
Mystere 4.3 NAs in Columbus, OH
Round the Bay Race in LaSalle, MI

As you can see, a lot of folks hype the hell out their events before hand, and then just drop everything afterward.
This is pretty unfair to the people that attend those regattas -- they would probably like to see some stories of the event and maybe even their name mentioned.., maybe even a picture.
And after the event publicity REALLY helps promote next year's event.
So far, after taking over the magazine from Mary, I can't seem to get anyone to believe me! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

When your events are in print, you can send copies along with the application. I am sure that would help.

While at the Wisc. regatta I also asked if they would be interested in a Ch of Ch on Waves. They liked the idea and all I needed to do was follow through and we could have hosted one in a couple of years. But, I let the ball drop.
Could have, though.
