James, I am the last to suggest stripping a club of any event.
Its the rules & dates that seem an issue here.
I was merely observing that, following Cowes, it seems that for some competitors, the rules mitigate that it is not in their interest to race at Weymouth.
A rather sad situation you will agree.
I get the immpression that after Cowes some competitors have already shut up shop for the season !
I was suggesting a more compacted time scale.
For instance, David Macey announced at The RYS Prize-giving, for the CTC/CPC Races, that while there will be a BPRC Race next year, he will not yet announce a date.
There are various options, not least for the BPRC to move away from the August BH., & maybe such a move would make use of start/finish at Cowes itself more likely.
If that were to happen, maybe UKOBA would like the August BH weekend.
That would then compact the season slightly, still being of four races.
Maybe others would like to put their views ?
