I treat the forum as a global beach of friends. Would you bark "When will the minutes be published?" or would you walk over, extend your hand, and say "Hey, I'm really a supporter of getting this right and believe publishing the minutes sooner will show strong leadership" Certainly would be more diplomatic and dignified.

In the way of friendly response, you were there you could provide a brief synopsis.

I chuckle ever time I read that post. Seriously who talks like that? I never saw you call Schneider on his tone... I call shenanigans!

Posts: 606 Maryland | Come'on....do not perpetuate "Ugly American" behavior. It is more so who Pete was beating on. I give Mark a fair amount of grief also but I leave Todd to really make a statement !

Posts: 1,203 uk | What I want to know is, was it anyone that will actually be part of the selection committee for the new Olympic catamaran? Who are you quoting harry? It is more like paraphrasing. Other items included that it will absolutely be a mixed team for 2016 (some think one & done - moving on to separate male & female events in 2020). I got a sense that the target weight dictated a younger team, 25-30 something for the US before middle age weight onset and that it is incumbent to support getting multihulls into the collegiate sailing scene. The World Health Organization has a huge database for its BMI calculator. The 130-140 kg range is easily within the "normal" range for a mixed team. As far as discussion as to which boat? It was pure speculation based on the above parameters. Frankly, I believe some emphatically interjected that Hobie was NOT interested in submitting the H16 w/spin.

Posts: 5,525 | LOL...and now the martyr? Hardly. I just have no problem saying things in the open. USS wants to be a tightly controlled autocracy to the point of squelching any public discussion. Why not just admit it and move on? Or ignore it and move on. Noone cares! You had 200 responses to a survey out of a total population of 40,000 USS members. That's 1/2 of 1%. There is no multihull community outside USS to serve. I had thought MHC might try to turn that around but apparently not. Enjoy!

Posts: 5,525 | I don't see enough catamarans to worry about. The very few cat sailors who are passionate about the sport will continue, they will be few in number.
You had a nice meeting? Wonderful! What's so hard about saying that?
