Very harsh and the topic title is a load of
bull****. Volunteers normally post the press releases and they also have to sail and enjoy themselves. I can't see how they'd influence an Olympic selection through their postings? The darts did have 130 plus boats last week. Cat sailing is awesome fun and well supported. However the olympics don't want us. Get over it and move on. It's political. Mere mortals will never get a say. You may note that have been through the angry stage. Then disappointed, now just apathy. The guys that won the dart worlds should have represented teM gb. I'm gutted for them Edited by ASok |

We have just had 130 cats racing in the venue for the
Olympics that multis have got chucked out of, and there has not been one decent press release or a fleet photo. The F18s had a huge fleet at the worlds this year and similarly offered a really poor PR performance. [The nationals was rubbish too] I thought that we had set up a multihull governing body to promote what goes on and make sure that we get back into the olympics? I know that we have just seen the ICCCT going on and there are rumors that the AC may go to multis, the VX40 stuff is great too, but the one thing that makes a difference to our sport at grass roots level [Certainly at Youth level] is the olympic selection and we need it back! C'mon cat sailing get your act together [ In no way is this meant as criticism of what guys like Jon Worthington, Nick Dewhurst, Nick Henson are doing/have done - just that we need more!] |
