Tradewinds, No... I am sure people love it... but it's too far a drive for a party/regatta.... YMMV.
If you could get your summer cat fight type party at Maragertiville.. you could get sailors to give it a tumble but it would be a regional event. Do you need another regional event?
I will flip it around... would you drive to American Yacht Club's 2 day HPDO... for a OD regatta with 110 boats last year and a banquet? (just F18's bother to play)
By and large... it's the SINGLE event a year NA Championship that gets sailors (who are so inclined) to strap on wheels and get to the regatta. AND THAT IS A POTENTIAL ISSUE FOR US MULTIHULL CHAMPIONSHIP In Todds terms... it's nothing special....
What makes a regatta special? What makes an elite Sailor? What should your OD class do about the US Multihull Championsips?
