As far as the 3 day thing...what about this: Schedule it for Sat, Sun and have MLK day available if either of the other two is non-sailable. Get in at least 6 races (3 per day) or more if the wind permits. I have never liked coming in to the beach at 1-2pm, on the second day of a regatta, when the wind is usually just getting good. But I only have to drive 3-4 hours.
