Let's say people who come out on the race without an appreciation for the risks. Their boats may not have had any rigging changed in 10 years, they may have leaks, they have not thought about any spare parts, they don't bother listening to the safety briefing. There's not many, but they do exist and they have been known to show up for the Statue Race.

Okay, so those are the people you call crazies? You are also saying that these are "local" crazies, so I assume that means they are members of Sandy Hook Bay Catamaran Club. And this is their own club's race. So I would assume that the "local crazies" are going to want to participate in their club's Statue of Liberty Race. So how do you tell them they cannot participate in their own club's race that they are hosting?
