It does dilute turnout that's why I find out where my class plans to go and I join them or I encourage them to join me. If there is no interest I don't go it's just that simple. There is one exception if someone goes out of their way to attend my home regatta I go out of my way to attend theirs.

Make no mistake Jay regattas have died, Carlisle Classic, Devils Triangle, Washington's Birthday and there are a few on the brink.
