Any thoughts on making Tradewinds a three day regatta next year? Sat-Mon with Monday being MLK day where many already have vacation?
With such a long drive it's hard for me to make an excuse to come all the way down there for a 2 day regatta. Had Tradewinds been a 3 day regatta it would have been much more attractive. Then if you get blown out one day it still can be an event worth the trip.
It seems as though many of the larger regional events are going to 3 days such as Catfight and Springfever. I think the time of year that Tradewinds is would be a great draw for this type of regatta.
It would require race committee for an extra day but not much else. I don't see any reason to add in extra meals or anything.
What do others think? I can just say that for myself I'd have been more interested in dusting the snow off the boat had Tradewinds been a 3 day regatta.
