Hi Dave,

Here's my 2 cents worth...

I would like to see it be all about the racing... 15 races in 5 days... If I'm going to travel interstate to sail I don't want to be sitting on the beach... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Having said that -
1) I think my crew wound mutiny and I'd find myself sailing Mk1... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

2) I have a very understanding (more likely forgiving) wife who isn't all that interested in coming to the nationals anyway.

3) I suspect I am slightly insane and in the minority <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

4) I would rather have quality racing than lots of racing, which means getting as many people to the Nats as possible.

5) I understand others situations and am quite happy to remain in the minority if it means they can attend <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

6) It may be possible to have organised events for the families whilst there is racing but that may be missing the point.

7) I'll be at and support the Nationals regardless

Thanks for asking...
