 All the sailors at the nationals can have as much social as they want, all you have to do is help in booking whatever you want to do. Its hard work to get people to commit and put their hand in thieir pocket.

How much would it cost to enter the Fireballs then!! Most costs come from accommodation, traveling etc. Entry fees always seem quite reasonable.

I would love to go to a Nationals and the Fireball Nats are just down the road from me this year...but there is no way I can afford to go! I am sure they are (relatively) good value for money etc,  but the entry fee and costs etc are as much as I payed for the boat!
I don't mind that I would have come last in every race or that my sails were last competitive over a decade ago, but I would have enjoyed just taking part and meeting and watching the best sailors.
I will go down and watch some of the racing but it won't be the same as actually taking part.
