Bla, Bla about sponsors and all the money you are spending. You can just go buy a first place trophy and save a lot of money. My point being I think most of us do the race to have fun and because we like the sport if I looked at all the money I spent on sailing it would just scare me. I sail because I love to and if I win it is great to. Sponsors don't care if you win they just want good coverage and a professional looking team that represents them.
Easy now, Velocity Sailing has some core issues with spending the amount of money we're talking of spending on a broken system (Portsmouth for Tybee). Most sponsors don't care, but some do. Though we don't do this race because of the first place prize, not being able to reach that prize because of handicap bull$&!t is quite disheartening.
