2009: The Year of the Cat
We lost the Olympics (for now) but we assaulted the AC! gaining major exposure.
AC 33 on Multihulls was the main reason why the traditional monohull sailing community started talking and looking with more interest our speedy crafts.
IShares, the Tornado fiasco, the F18 numbers, and several other factors contributed to a high level of exposure. Nevertheless we must keep going as we need our spot in the Olympics back for 2016.
Remembering people that push forward for the sport like Pierre Sicouri, we are obligated to continue his legacy and keep the Multihull torch flaming.
Goods winds for 2010!
