The fees seem pretty close for each org....why don't the bulk of the teams get together and support one organization...The one with the best city's and offer the best ROI for sponsors.
If all the boat only enter one series the other cannot survive. It seems the teams have the ability to end this once and for all...If they all pick the same series and only race that series. Once there is only one series the teams can form a union to push back on the series for concessions...
Not sure if its that easy and I am an outsider looking in...but just a thought!
