Well, the whole point of pre registration is to take the freaking load off the regatta chair.

Why pre registration... ... because the planning and cash flow to make the event happen entail work and risk.

This whole regatta thing is not a business...

Hogs Breath is speaking from experience... Few preregister for his race... much less prepays..

From experience... Cat sailors preregister if it will cost them 20 bucks or more on site.. If it's 10 bucks... people will register on site after they see the weather report and decide if it's a go.

I don't see any valid excuses for not pre registering for a weekend event or paying the on site surcharge.

(perhaps Hogsbreath needs to retool the race if most Tybee Racers will pass on the race for similar reasons .... especially if he needs those guys to draw in the less serious racers)
