Nobody has even mentioned that it is on easter weekend or the light conditions that generally prevail. That hampered my attendance lately. 3 days o' sailing is great but hadn't happened the last couple of times I was there, and it was a pretty long haul for me. The party and the people were always awesome and were the deciding factor of participation for me, when I did go. I truly hope they have a change of heart after a break and try again. 37 boats is a great entry list at most regattas, maybe just dial back on the expenditures until participation increases again.
I don't disagree - but the campground is a bit of a delima. It is a substantial cost and you need roughly 30 boats or more just to cover that alone...so without that, where do you house people? Would people still come without any food and BYOB parties? I tend to think that this would impact attendance as well.
