I run a little regatta at a lake that's also popular with windsurfers. This year after we were through racing, one of the windsurfers asked if we could give them a start next year.

I'd love to get the extra registrations, but I'm not really sure how the mechanics of having cats and sailboards racing at the same time would work out. I've never seen a sailboard race, but I'd be worried about the cats running them down in the starting area. I figure also that the sailboards would need a very different course than the cats, which means two sets of marks, which would be pretty confusing.

Anybody have any experiance with this sort of event?
