You're a lot less cynical than I, but I'm much older.
Still, you can't escape the truth. If we are on the verge of loosing the Alter Cup, those of us who like racing cats will just have to put on our own shindig. Who knows, people are funny. If we change a defunct area D to a Peninsular Championship maybe it will actually be a greater draw.
It will be another weekend regatta on the schedule and will have the same draw and meaning as the rest of our weekend regattas.
There no way you are going to convince me that another weekend regatta has the same prestige and meaning as week long OD championship that tries to bring the best talent in the nation together to fight it out for the top spot.
