Dave... How can we say anything... we were not there..
So props to the volunteers and congratulations to the winners.
Best I can do is say the pictures look great.
If you want an evaluation that would improve things..... get one of the vets experienced in international competition to critique the organization.
If you want a gold standard event to compare things to... try comparing to American Yacht Clubs HPDO.
A 70 boat regatta is still one of the largest in the country... and... year after year it remains so .... That says a lot about the volunteers.
I can't do anything but echo Mark's comments. I wasn't there, so I really can't comment. I do know some of the people that went that hadn't been to Tradewinds before - but I haven't heard anything from them yet. I'll pass along what I hear, if it's appropriate.
