A few answers for you; first remember many cats are up at Spring fever this weekend, so you may want to bump this post up next week.

There are not enough weekends in a month, the weekend of your race is also the Alter Cup and the Tampa Regatta. That takes up most of the traveling racers right there.

If you just want die-hard racers you probably don't need food, beer and prizes but I think if you want to attract new sailors you need these things.

Also need to keep in mind that a lot of sailors do not surf the web at all so those ones would not preregister, I do preregister as I know it helps greatly with the planning.

There are so many regattas on the schedule that we cannot possibly afford to do all of them, when I choose which ones I also look at the venue for things that the rest of the family would like, ex. beach, pool, BMX ramps! I think this would not pertain to all racers depending on age, family status etc... I sometimes travel without the family.

We know that Race organizers put in a lot of hours, we thank you for that.
