Karl:
I would think that Regional meetings / Regattas would have the best hope of
success for many reasons. The primary one being cost to the travelers. Being
Regional may also bring more boats to each meeting; perhaps coordinate
timing with Regional boat shows as well may help gather in more people. In
any event a tough one for sure given that we could not even get our local
group to meet.
