Flying Scot ranks high for One Design Racing

Since this site is getting a little more traffic this week (midwinters?) than usual, I thought I might post something new.

The Sailing Anarchy site has a user named "RogerJolly" who has compiled attendance figures for the National Championships of most of the popular one designs. He has been doing this for several years and the most recent update for 2009 was added a little while back. I have included the figures below but did not include his full post with explanations, there is a link below if you wish to read the entire post. The rankings are based on the most recent three year attendance figures;

Clearly we benefited from the 101 boats that attended the Fishing Bay NAC/50th Anniversary celebration. Now would be a good time to complete your plans to attend the 2010 NAC at Bay Waveland YC.
