For the sailors that questioned our Octoberfest Regatta with 81 boats and one start line, here is how it was done. PRO Kevin Cunningham ran the two day event from one committee boat.
There were about 10 marks, each had a letter designator. Sailors had a course chart with the marks noted. Each start had class designation and course posted on the committee boat. This was primarly a Youth Event, and they have seen this system before.

Peter and I were on one of several safety boats on the course.

No reason why you can not run a combined Event of this type. If the Youth can do it, why not the Adults?
