Does anybody have an example of a Series driving turnout...


I have run several series and I believe the value is ONLY to establish a pecking order in the fleet... It gives you a ladder to climb... With lots of sailors in the ladder... you could see progress..

A Series is never about who is the top sailor in the region... most can point that guy out instantly.

If the numbers are so low... the ladder rungs are far apart and the series looses value to most sailors.

In the end... you measure your time and money... the regatta fun factor (race management, party, wind, camping, etc etc) and the turnout and competition in your class.
