Tow Cars

Sailing regattas started well before ordinary people emade a habit of putting trailers or roof racks on cars. When you look around, there are in fact a great many racing boats chartered out for regattas, mostly bigger, more easily damaged and more expensive than a dinghy. Many of the IoW clubs have fleets of club-owned dayboats. Insurance is do-able. If a bunch of people I know can rent a 40ft boat for Anigua Week, then it can't be beyond the wit of man to insure a few Por*stars? I'm not sure if it's more common with dinghies in Mainland Europe? The other thing which might happen is that people choose to sail a class where there is a good choice of regatttas without travelling very far? In the UK, most sailing clubs are not very far from the next, you could get a respectable open meeting fleet from a sensible radius, if people chose classes with that in mind? Let's face it the numbers of people travelling frequently in most dinghy classes has dropped over the years, possibly because the traffic is so bad? The problem isn't IC cars, it's too many cars?
