Ocean sailing is inherently dangerous which is part of the draw. By mandating tracking units on each boat and personal EPIRB's ON each sailor, you will be solving 98% of the worst scenarios. The other 2% can't be eliminated and you should stay home if you don't like it.

I would like to see it as an open race to all boats from 18' to 22' spinnaker equipped. This would actually give me an option to do the race. I am not going to go out and buy a boat to do the race and would not really care to charter one.
