How about this idea:
Make an online database that everyone could submit their boat make, year, sail number, sails, etc... I'm sure if it is placed in an excel format or another database format then it could be imported with the results from Sailwave. While far from being the perfect solution you would be able to look up each racer and details about them and their boat. I think it would be pretty cool to see information such as years of racing experience, crew weight, etc....
You would at least be able to get information on some of the sailors and their boats.
