Leaving these items up to "us" (I assume you mean racing members) to resolve has led the sport into a fractured family. Brothers against brothers. It really is that simple.
This is a business decision that should be made and contributed to by business people. This sin't about how many wins you have on the race course. It's about how many Win-Win situations you have created (or contributed to) in life and/or business.
This thread was positive right up to when you starting talking about Family and how warmly received Instigator was (obviously in OSS). If you truly wanted this to be positive, you'd leave that type of cheerleading out.
On a lighter note, how long does it take to capitalize every word?

It's an old laptop, and broken, but it gets the point across.

Re: Interesting letter
Not to stir the pot but I am thinking that the letter that contained the 12 points important to OSS was a reply to the document in question. One point that was in all probability the deal breaker was the 2 race minimum in another organization. The other side could not break the rules for OSS nor should it be expected to. OSS (all members) did not want to pay those fees. When added up they come to or better than a quarter of a million dollars. In the Destin scenario at the end of the day OSS walks with prize money which is a push on entry fees , or around 60k. The difference now becomes over 300k. It is business pure and simple. The board would be failing in its fiduciary responsibility not to encourage and choose the obvious financially prudent path. The issue at hand is closed and finished. Believe it or not KW has not got the monopoly on being the best or only place for offshore competition. I do love the town but many of our members are ready for something new. We are going to do our best to make the Destin race "off the hook" The contracts are signed and both races are on. Kicking this dead horse is surely one thing that does nothing for the sport. All of our members have my number when they need more info. 1- 225 673- 9708. We welcome anyone interested with open arms as Mike said. I am sure the other organizations do the same.
