So why are you bringing up crap from several year's ago? Apparently you still spend a lot of your time bashing the club. We have an objective 150 - to get 150 boats registered on the beach - we are at 135, so we're getting close. There are 10 new members this year, and we have been over 130 boats for the last 8 years. Each member has his/her own expectations as to their experience at the club - some like to race, some like to hang out and sail casually. We cannot force people to do anything, and this is why the club is so successful. I guess the "old guard" must be doing something right - just because it is not what you want doesn't make it wrong.
