and back to Pete's train... why do we need more people in the sport?

So we have more people to race against (as long as they don't beat us because then we'll start a handicap system)?

So boats will be cheaper?

So we'll all feel popular?

Jeeze, just get out and sail (speak for myself). If you're having fun, does it really matter how big the sport is?

Off to my dodgeball world tournament...
