No... I would not get too caught up in the size of the regatta debate. I go back to my competition/ world wide participation point... When the worlds gets the top 30 sailors in the class from around the world going head to head... I would declare that an overwhelming success whether you include zero other competitors or 170 other competitors.

Now the scale of the parties and the worlds experience could depend on those other boats but that is a separate point.

Here is a somewhat related question.... Is a worlds truly a championship if the past world champions don't compete (and have not retired)?

The stock reply is ... well... you hold the championship and the champion is the winner and world champion.. But we are human.... So...what do you really think?





You try to make things so complicated!

You hold a championship. The winner is...~sigh~..."the champion".
