In Australia, particularly places like Sydney where club premises are small and club fees are low, it's common to require sailors to do at least 50% of the weekend races if they want to store their boat at the club. It does seem to provide an incentive.

We have the same rules in place at our sailing club. The F18's, N20's and A cats abide by this. The F16's are 50/50 (they have more cruisers). Unfortunately, we have a board comprised of ~60% cruisers/socialites and ~40% sailors/racers (used to be probably 80% dinghy sailors/racers), with a big boat cruising sailor as commodore. This is not a knock on them, they are volunteering and doing us a great service, but it also means parking rules are a bit lax. The other catch is we have a few empty spaces, and the club sees that as lost revenue, so we aren't keen to kick existing boats to the curb for not racing.

I certainly think an early spring clinic would be good. Wish I could get some of the NE teams down but it is quite a haul for them and Annapolis has mixed conditions (though usually breeze in early spring and warmer temps than RI!)
