Boat rotation takes time, especially if the race area is far from the docks and the air is light. A lot of good racing time is wasted going back and forth to the docks to swap boats.
One of the (many) things I learned last summer by running races outside of my normal circle, is that there are ALWAYS other ways of doing things. Crews can be rotated on the water, from power boats or even rafts. Obviously, there are some logistical issues to consider here (boat inspection between races, etc.), but it CAN be done.
I've been trying really hard to keep my paradigms from stumping my growth. Some days, it's easier than others...
