I am with you. The last minute change is frustrating. This is the 2nd year in a row that the Simpson has been an issue (last year it was cancelled due to lack of numbers). This year it was cancelled due to lack of fleets.

For the fleet this is the 2nd event that has been impacted significantly this year. Earlier this year the Summer Sailstice was cancelled because noone knew the regatta we intended to race in was a dinghy regatta. A YRA event got added last minute as a season counter but by then a lot of crews had made other plans.

Hopefully we can do a better job of this next year. Perhaps a topic for the owner's mtg at the end of the month?
