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

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!]
