Turnout by racing sailors is also relevant.

I have had a quick look at the turnout for class racing in one of our club's most popular fleets in 2014 and 2015. There were 76 races in the course of each year. Roughly 75% of the boat owners raced at least once.

Of those who raced, about a third did fewer than 10 races, and another third did between 10 and 20 races, and the remainder were split between 30+ and 40+ races. I reckon that bell curve is typical of many clubs/classes.

so what percentage of membership participate in the racing at H&SSC Graeme?  

Genuine question as I was quite surprised to read it can be as low 2% at a large club famed for racing....

In the meantime, we're planning to get t-shirts printed with the slogan "I was into your favourite band before you were born" to wear whenever we go to hipster bars.

the little sh*ts keep buying Lasers too.... that's the problem, allegedly.
