Actually,

The Texel race is run by citizens but as the Dutch marines home port is just on the other side of the creek and can use a bit a high speed persuit practice the Dutch marines help out alot. And they have all the equipement and know-how to make the best safety crew that you can imagine.

Same situation exists at the Caribian regatta's where the Dutch marines have their tropical training grounds.

And of course alot of ex-marines are cat sailors in their older days. For some reason sailing vessel never lost their attractiveness to these modern soldiers on high powered speedboats.
