I am so angry right now.
I can not believe that after all the email discussions between myself, US Sailing, ISAF, and the competitors, resulting in the green light from Olli and Kelli to compete, that this has happened.

It is absolutely inexcusable.

FACT – The mulithull class was originally an OPEN event. When the F18 North Americans was awarded to serve as the qualifying event for the Multhull slots, it was OPEN.

It wasn’t till well after the North Americans was over that we learned it had been changed. No one was ever notified.

It seems that because the Women’s event was added, the organizers felt the OPEN Multihull should be changed to a MENS.
Not taking into consideration for any mixed teams that may have already qualified.
I’d have to research the time lines (again) on when the changes happened, but I do remember that it was switched prior to the North Americans being held, but no one was informed.

Everyone, including US Sailing, was under the impression that this was a qualifier for the OPEN Multihull class at the ISAF World Games.

I am disgusted with sailing politics anymore.
