appeal

question:- Are we sailors OR legal eagle`s

As a sailor I think  Ithey are impressive boats that have NO real interest to ME but provide a talking point with non sailors this allows an interest in sailing to be brought forward however the tailing point at the moment is not usefull! OR is it?

However when I can`t win on the water ( which is everytime i sail ) I don`t try to change the rules because we all accept the same rules when we started the race,

I should change the way I sail & improve my sailing Not change the rules of the game.

So use the law courts to bend the rules to make winning easier, Not a good image for the sport & I am NOT interested in doing that!

Also to spend the large amounts of money on legal challenges when the masses are suffering a cash crises is normally seen as elitst.

Thats my 2p & why I would have a lack of interest & would be surprised if I was alone in that veiw.

And the counter appeal is in!!!

All things being equal I feel the DoG challenge must be the way forward. Won't look great if we have two hideously expensive half built multihulls abandoned to build some expensive monohulls.
Seems a bit wasteful to me, and from a PR point of view that can't fail to be a bad thing.

BMWO and its supporters would assert that isn't what they are doing at all. Perhaps you should look into the history of what's happened a bit more.
