Matt(Fairport) Some constructive advice. If you want to run a successful regatta you will need some boats. The best way to do that is invite the Hobie fleets. Check the regatta schedules and pick an open weekend. You should attend a fleet 295 meeting and let them know what your doing. Send a flyer to fleet 204 and we will put it in our newsletter and bring it up at a fleet meeting. You could even make an anouncement at the Madcatter and even volunteer to help or come crew on a boat.You can put a post on our fleet website forum. There are a lot of Hobies every year at the Canandaigua open multihull regatta the Sharks put on. I would bet that if you helped out at the Rochester regatta you would get some help in return. If you have not run an event before, I can tell you it is a lot of work and having some experienced help will make for a better event.
So, I would not take the good riddance advice.
You will catch more flies with honey than Sh*#.

Getting a bunch of these people to your regatta will go a long way to making it a success.
