Issues with the various "thebeachcats" and "catsailor" and "hobie" and other schedules is that they are often incomplete and lack any attempt at a central organizing catalyst.

From a collecting the information together standpoint, I'd prefer a table style with weekends going down the rows, regional organizers (EMSA, NENSA, CRAM, CRAW, etc.) in the columns, and events filling out the field. Can't speak for other regions, but CRAM does actively communicate with CRAW and ORCA to try to coordinate the larger event dates.

FWIW, our CRAM Caseville event (July 11-13) already has 18 boats registered including 10 F18s. I'm literally looking at piles of snow on the ground, the event is still 3.5 months away, and yet we already know we're going to have a successful event. Point is that it is possible to make this work if its done right. It all comes down to early and frequent communication in all it's various forms: email, social media, phone calls, over a beer, etc.

We're working very hard to make the dead-boat society feel welcome as well and are seeing some real success there. We got lot's of 'em here in MI, and those guys are always a ton of fun. As well, the Weta guys will be sailing with us at Muskegon at the end of July - they're expecting at least 5-6 of them to show up.
