As usual, Pat is brilliant... "The Nationals should crown a champion and make everyone else feel like one."

Hard to argue with that logic. Make everything about an event fall in line with this, and you're doing it right.

Not to say that's always an easy thing to do when the weather doesn't cooperate, but if you pay attention to what the sailors actually want, it's not that hard, either. (OK, now as long as no one brings up the 20s in Tampa...)
