It's not really the money at all - I think there are a bunch of us that are on the fence about the event...like most regattas once you hit a particular critical mass, the fence sitters start coming.
Geeesh, there's 20 to 30 catsailors in that AREA where are they? Has anyone called Captain Kirk? He doesn't venture onto the interweb much anymore (he's confused by all those tubes) but I'm sure if he gets behind it he'll bring some boats out. I can't make it due to work obligations but I would really like to see catsailors make a strong appearance down there.
