Nah those boaties are hellish rich anyway and they can pay for their 'sport'. Tbh I don't find it very interesting. It seems to be that ridiculous amounts of money are spent racing fancy boats round a harbour and the biggest wallet has the best chance. My wifes family built yachts and she grew up on them of course. One of her brothers is a very well respected yacht designer/builder & racer. But he sails ocean races not just round harbours. That's REAL racing. Heres a pic of one of the boats he designed and I don't think this was even during a race !
