Here is the recipe I use:
Potential entrants create a node, based on a content type I created with CCK.
For low value races, I let them sign up anonymously, but use CAPTCHA. For high-value races ($800), I make them sign up.
After they have created their entry, then they get presented with a payment block that appears because of CONTEMPLATE. When they pay, we manually check them off.
Done.
A couple of VIEWS help sort the data, and if private information is included I use CCK field permissions.

Cayenne,
For our club, the online registration is not a high priority. Posting of the results is much more important. Online registration would be great, but gravy at this point.
With CCK can you create a content type that is essential a database of boats? What I envision is having a table that would have a row for every boat with sail number, type of boat and anything else pertinent (PHRF rating?) which could then be linked to the Drupal user that "owned" that boat. For regattas, the scoring would be by skipper and boat allowing for the possibility that the "owner" of the boat was not the skipper. This would be a big win for my website and any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated!
You said you used a Java scoring program. Would that be JavaScore by any chance?
FYI, the Lightning Class has (hmm, appears that they have updated their website and apparently removed this feature) a feature to upload results from, I believe, JavaScore. I sent an email to the webmaster a few years ago and got a response that offered to put me in touch with the developer of that capability. I'll see if I can dig it up...
Presently, we are using software that I wrote. It's been stable for about 5 years and automatically ftp's the results to the web.
This year, we tried letting people create their own nodes (CCK with pertinent info) by way of a signup.
then, while I was not looking, our race director used the output of that to fill the setup table for the race program directly
To my surprise, it mostly worked. The principal problem was that he later overrwrote the file and a number of corrections were lost.
I looked at Javascore, but like any home chef, I like my cooking the best.
A sign-up site based on Ubercart, Views, and CCK. This allows you to sign up for a regatta or seminar (or anything else, I guess). Check it out. Recipe to be posted.
Does anybody know how to make installation profiles?
Basically, you create "products" with entry data as attributes, and then use this module to see your entry list with purchaser and payment data linked.

RegattaLog progress
The site continues. We've talked with the other local on-line registration site and agreed to merge using Drupal!
Current development focuses on Ubercart.
1. A per-event purchase report
2. A club payment module (charge a person's club account for a purchase)
Anyone want to help?
