"Racing numbers are down everywhere". Edd where can I find published data on that?
I'm doing that analysis right now for my club, using published race results dating back to (only) 2012 to study the number of boats racing each year. I haven't finished the analysis yet, but I can already tell we're down at least 20% from 2012. We seem to be holding at about 28 boats across six fleets for the last two years. We gain a boat or two each year, but we lose a boat or two each year.

Thanks for sharing. The trend is a little more bleak in Western LI Sound. Racing numbers are down everywhere. Years ago, our Wednesday Night series had around 125 boats with 9 divisions. Now we are around 30 and 4 divisions. One of the four clubs on City Island just closed its doors for good. Sad to see the decline. All the best, Edd Edd M.
