Sorry, but I am getting a little incensed about this whole thing. Everybody is trying to figure out what to do to promote youth sailing, but a lot is already going on and very little is being done to promote it and let the kids know about what is available to them -- and let the parents know.

I myself just got the details two days ago about this year's U.S. Youth Multihull Championship, and I had to mention to people that there was no NOR or registration page at US Sailing for the event. And the event is only a month away!!

Yikes! Let's get some teams out there to Long Beach. They are going to have a clinic before the regatta to teach the kids how to use a spinnaker and to familiarize them with the SL 16.
