The LMSC's share of the increased insurance cost is $1000, not $1800. Although the cost increase does not apply to national championships, it does apply to other events held at the same time, such as the shorter races that LV Masters intended to have along with the 10K. Also, the new boat requirements (for propeller guards and for the boat itself to carry insurance) apply to all sanctioned races.
I wish they'd say what the problem is, however. Has Southern Pacific Masters not decided yet how to handle the $1000? Are the race organizers having some problem arranging for boats that have the propeller guards and insurance that USMS's carrier now requires?
Other races affected by this cost increase and change in equipment rules have opened registration, such as the Lake Del Valle series in early June that includes the 1-mile National Championship. What is the hangup here?
