For many years we had a situation in Germany where the 10R class was suffering in numbers. The fleer sizes did not justify organizing events for them. To keep the class alive, we organized races for IOM and 10R at the same date and venue so that the host had enough entries to make it worth the clubs efforts. However, we didn't race them in a single fleet bus raced with alternating starts. This gave each fleet a brief pause and chance to watch the others sailing and act as observers for the PRO. Watching 10R sail did spark interest with some IOM skippers whohva invested in a 10R (myself included) and the fleet has grown since to allow for a dedicated 10R circuit and national championship with decent numbers.

As an IOM measurer, I can attest that I have had a not insignificant number of sails to measure from well known sail makers and I have had to decline to sign until the sail was bought into compliance... Common issue is sails where the leech falls outside the straight line either between the battens for the main or head to clew point for the jib.
