[quote=klozhald][quote=JennaMeyer]Chase crews on the ground are important also for those that need to bail out for whatever reason.[/quote]
Yuo could work the cost of the chase crews into the entrance fees, staff them with family members and local youth sailing volunteers/scouts. People come ashore because they are hurt/the boat is damaged/there is no wind/they are lost. The chase vehicles would transport people for medical aid/boat parts, and carry a marine VHF radio, cell phone and a first aid kit. 
You might have to clearly define what kind of assistance the chase crews can give out over the radio, e.g. NOT telling who is in what place or locations of the other boats.
I am excited about this race. 
To enter a race thats's just over 2500 miles away, I may need a second spare for the trailer.  :-D 
Maybe I can talk someone into a double stack...
Hey Martinez, you wanna drive coast to coast for a long PHRF race?<em>Edited by klozhald on Oct 23, 2013 - 11:25 AM.</em> [/quote]
