Hey Todd and Jake more news on the pro sailor front lines... (still waiting for that photo btw)

I am way behind the times... Why was I bothered by lousy old stickers on sails... I should be concerned about the professional junior sailors!

CBYRA (my Regional sailing authority) just cut a deal to give Corum scholoarship money to the top juniors in CBYRA... sort of like prize money!

How would you like to be a junior sailing coach, or protest committe person for a junior regatta now! If you thought opti moms were intense now.... watch out!

Am I alone in thinking that this is a slippery slope?

Jake,

I KNOW those guys ... are you sure you want to have photographic proof you associate with them?

I even have that T-shirt in the middle but I don't have the one you're wearing ... I want one of those!!!

Hey Jake and Todd

When you get back from Tybee... Some Good News...
ISAF now declares that you are not a pro!

New statement added to the ISAF regs to clarify the point we debated.

Quote
The display of advertising on a boat or equipment beyond Category A in
the Advertising Code set out in Regulation 20, even if payment is
received for it, does not influence the sailor’s classification in this Code.

Good thing too... I looked at taking Todd up on removing his stickers off a sail.... Todd's spot on... it would be a big PIA. <img src=

Good luck in the Tybee.
