Imagine your skipper needs to duck below to put on foulies or something. He (or she) hands off the wheel and goes below, while a crewmember who has not joined USSailing steers for a few minutes. Boat behind sees crew at the helm, googles the crew's USSailing status, sees nothing and protests....how eff'ed up would THAT be?? Yet distinctly possible under the proposal. Good on CBYRA for at least getting a gauge on public sentiment! tf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I think they will probably fold in the long run, but it is kind of > nice of them to actually ask members what they think rather than just > stuffing it down the throats of everyone. > Personally I think this is going to hurt participation in a sport that > is already suffering. > > USSailing is just out of touch with it's base. > > In a message dated 6/3/2008 7:39:13 A.M.
