A sailing club in SC worked out a very popular program that exploded their opti program. They offered parents a 50% payment...own the boat in 2 years program. Parents pay a certain amount for the boat (say 50%) now...their kid gets priority on the boat but it can be used for club use. After a year (or two...I think) the parents own the boat outright and the club begins to organize another mass purchase. In only one year,The opti is now the largest one design class that lake sees other than when the J24's come to town during easter.

The problem you are going to face is convincing clubs they need to purchase bravos instead of Optis because the Optis already have a huge racing circuit and wide acceptance as a great kid platform.
