Tying in with YCs certainly has a lot of benefits. Did you mention showers?

The frustrating thing is, at least around here, we can't get cat sailors willing to commit and pre-register for events. It's embarrassing to keep asking for a spot at an event, only to have only one or two boats make the attempt to pre-register by the deadline.

We also don't want to live in the real world in terms of what it should cost to enter an event. We're too demanding of $40 entry fees per two-person boat, for a two-day event. Yeah, right...

I understand that cat sailors tend to be "rebels" or whatever, but this is one area where it really hurts us. The F18s seem to have realized that they need to accept this, kudos to them.
