This is where us South Africans go wrong. Instead of focussing on Olympics,new classes etc we need to concentrate on recruitment. We need new recruits plain and simple,look at our regattas, barely making class and we call it a good regatta. We dont know how to sail in big fleets,we send kids at huge cost overseas and are happy with a 123rd or 76th because its better than last year.C’mon,lets work it out by using all our resources,have huge recruitment drives and get the kids on board.(Probably cost less than an Olympic campaign anyway.)
