Also not all clubs have enough in house patrol boats to cover for the entry of an open. Or a commitee boat if they club race from a fixed line.

All these things have to be weighed up. Some clubs will talk members into lending RIBs, yachts for committee boats, others will have to shell out proper money. At the top end, they may be paying for umpires and protest committees. |

We run our opens with volunteers and recently charged £25 per doublehander & £13 per singlehander for two days - Phantom, 12 and Wayfarer open but also a separate handicap fleet so that club members could race too.
Given that for two classes it was their Eastern Champs and part of the national circuit for the 12s, I don't think we charged too much. Camping was free. |

I never understand why single handers should pay a lot less than double handers, especially if drinks or meals are not included. One fee for any boat!

You'd hope so, but one large well known professional water last year charged top whack £30 entry fee for the day, sailed us tucked round a headland out of the breeze while club racing went in in the best bit and then only awarded one glass per boat! They did up their game this year to be fair Contrast that with Salcombe YC who charged £23 for the weekend. They know that they will get 30-45 boats, they know the club will be packed friday and saturday nights and they also have to have their support boats out anyway for the club racing that takes place around the same time so they'll only use marginally more fuel. A great example of not biting the hands that feed - which do you think earns more money from the event?

Bit of a thread resurrection:
£58 entry fee for double handers for the Tiger Trophy - have Rutland SC completely lost their marbles?? Oh, by the way you get two dinner tickets included - what happens if you don't want to go to the dinner for whatever reason? Why should you pay an extra £18? The way that most successful businesses work is that they attract people in before they pull their pants down. I suspect that this year will not see a record turn out. I know a significant part of the money raised goes to charity but a lot of the grass roots sailors that push this event and others like it into the 150+ club will look closely at what its going to cost them. £58 is an unacceptable amount to pay to enter an inland weekend event - end of story.

I imagine the intention is to encourage competitirs who do want to go to the dinner above those who don't. Its always been a big feature of the event (if admittedly one I've always skipped because that's really not my kind of thing). However if there are too many competitors who don't attend then it stops working. |

I can't see what the beef is, it is two days, right? £10 per head per day and nine quid for a meal AND some of the proceeds go a respected sailing charity.

It's their event, can do what they like with it ... less than the price of a ratchet block.
