I would like to create a new weekend / 2-day event. One day would be a distance event, the next would be the traditional couse racing. I feel like a lot of the newer sailors are turned off by course races. I would also like to get the event as inclusive as possible. Most sailors that are not Hobie brand loyal often get overlooked in this part of the country.

Problems:

1. Most Hobie racers won't show up if the NAHCA isn't involved (Division Points). The Hobie brand loyalists are the majority of the sailors.

2. Cost... Entry fees for regattas are going up, then tack on camping, food, gas and a weekend can become a $300 investment.

3. How to get it all started...
