it always was MONEY MONEY MONEY - for the racers - now its money money money for the producers -
Some day - it will just be like the old days - the racers meet - hold a informal meeting - let the fans see and touch the boats - watch the race - and enjoy - EVERY THING would be FREE then - and the " sport" would grow and grow -
a shame !
