For some reason that is called the "regatta" approach.
The regatta approach requires that everyone starts at the same time if at different speeds.
Just to make matters worse, £90,000 was spent on hospitality for the regatta.
There seems to be a distinction between whether it was a five-plus-one kind of arrangement which the committee favoured, or a so-called regatta approach.
They gave me an explanation of the regatta approach, to start negotiations with the 10, rather than the five plus one which we should prefer.
Boating may be an open-air recreation and, if there were boating sports or a regatta, it might be considered to be an organised game.
The harbour is a vibrant summer sailing centre and small commercial port, with national and international regattas and regional events.
It organises some regattas on the rather peculiar basis that one can draw a programme if one has entered at a lodge at the gates.
