I am on the Board of a small Southern California sailing club that puts on two small two day reggattas a year, and about 10 other one day events.
at our last event 40 Radials showed up, as well as 6 other fleets.
afterwards several people suggested we needed an 8 to 1 ratio of Radial rigs to crash boats.
that would mean 1 RC boat, 1 Marks Boat, and 5 launches to clean up the mess? I can see a School or teaching program using that number, I can also see it in colder water.
I admit I am Old (45) and don't remember coach boats or any of that. I also feel 15-25 year olds are young adults, and not children.
Seems one boat and the marks boat would be sufficient. The alternatives range from charging them extra to race, to simply un-inviting them.
Thoughts?
