Hi Larry, I have the same issue. COST!! $140.00 entry fee is too expensive to continue to support. The other issue is finding crew for a two-day regatta is difficult and time consuming. It would be great if there were low cost one-day regatta series. Do the Ditch Run and stay for the Delta Do Da June 17th at Owl harbor

:: Hello Larry, The main thing for me is expense. I can not
:: afford $140 for five races around the pins in two days.
:: I do both the RYC Big Daddy and Great Pumpkin for the
:: same amount. Lottsa bang for the buck.
::
:: Second reason is I like to get my boat home here in
:: South

:: Shore Tahoe in time to do the maintenance that I
:: deferred over the winter in time to get her in the water
:: by the first week in June or earlier. SDK
