One hazard are you may want to think of are offshore rigs and wind farms etc, I know the wind farms have certain height restrictions, obviously so the taller masts dnt get shortened!! 
Any one in need of quality carbon fibre work (tillers etc) at decent prices!

i heard stories of a recent 18 foot skiff nationals where there was a big oppie open at the same venue/piece of water. Unfortunatly the oppie course was set so that when the 18's went round the windward mark and hoisted they came across swarms of oppies sailing across the course with a fleet of stupidly sized skiffs bearing down on them! lukily oppie rigs are small and can fit under the racks on an 18

could be a new event, the most oppies on one spinny pole at the end wins.
