I'm getting confused by the Cowes week entry.
In the IRC classes there are currently 65 boats entered. Compared to last year's total of about 150. The early bird entry closed on Friday, so entries are now full price. Wasn't an especially large discount, but every little penny....
But it got me thinking, why haven't people entered yet?
I mean, Cowes is not a weekend regatta, it's a week's commitment. Your crew will need to take holiday, you might need to book shoreside accommodation... Are there really a significant number of owners who haven't yet made the decision to sail at Cowes? Surely most boats know their summer programme well in advance of now?
Or is it just not being organised?
