Only two boat rounds is a backward step even if the numbers have dropped. Sometimes these things are cyclical and no doubt has to do with the state of the economy but I would have thought at least three boat rounds for 2017. I think that with only two rounds that numbers are likely to drop not increase, especially with more than six months between rounds 1 and 2. Perhaps if enough support the first round of boats in 2017 then another round could be added.
Not having a go at the organisers who have done a great job so far but it would be good to hear the reasons for this decision.
