updated to start to fill this out - it was a thin skeleton[edit]

The article mentioned only the two Olympic medals, which are impressive but barely scratch the surface on all the types of events that Smyth has competed in and dominated over the decades that he has been racing multihulls.

I've not got the Worrell correct. (Previousy it said he "has won", but he's actually won it six times, more than any other competitor.)

I added the section on the Hobie Alter Cup, which the official Olympic sanctioning body says is awarded to the best multihull sailor in the USA, and which he has won 5 times, the last time at age 64.

I know he has won many one-design nationals on various Hobie Cat and Nacra Catamarans, and I believe he also won the Corsair Nationals. These would be good events to add, as they are noteworthy. (National level championships).

At some point it might be good to add a table to this entry, to better and more clearly spell out the many championships that Randy Smyth has won.
