Mission of the new commission is to:
"... identify, evaluate, and provide recommendations to assist nationally and internationally recognized sailing and marine events, both amateur and professional, and to attract and encourage activity in Rhode Island. In addition, the commission shall advise state and local leaders on the suitability and practicality of hosting qualified marine events in the state."
Makes sense for Newport. Sailing folks have, and spend, a lot of money.
You know: sailing is like standing in a cold shower tearing up $100 bills...
