All great points, guys.

Clinics put on by local experts (fastest guys in the local fleet) are also huge. You can't have too many of these. You can dedicate a weekend (one day clinic, second day is fun racing), or break it down into bite-sized pieces, spread over regatta weekends.

The fast guys know they'll only get faster for nationals if they're pushed all season long locally.

Newbies will be eternally grateful.

Mid-packers will enjoy anything that gets them on the water to improve their fine-tuning.

Everybody wins...
