Sadly, we've tried the combo event in Area A, had the worst turnout ever for the AQ. This was done at Roton Point. I think that was the year that something like 2-3 boats participated in the AQ. There were plenty of others there, including lots of the NENSA guys who normaly were the biggest supporters of the AQ when it was at Quincy. This time, they all wanted to race one-design.

I wasn't there, but Bob was.

I'm not being negative at all, just trying to find ways to entice people to attend. I think we need new, out-of-the-box thinking.

Regattas overall are on the decline, we need to do something drastic to improve this one.
