Coming back at the original topic.

I think that one part of the promo and growth program should be to keep giving as many demo rides to interested parties as we can.

That has always been our strong point.

Most sailors will simply not believe any F16 claims until they have actually experienced some F16 sailing themselves.

In my view any promo must be geared towards getting them interested sufficiently to put in the effort to get a demo ride. After that you can almost sit back and watch the newly gained experience slowly eating its way through the most strongly constructed sceptism and preconceptions.

I also believe that the general class feel expressed by these demo rides is what attracts alot of people to the class. We are no an industrial class with a big dealor yet. We are what we are. A bunch of enthousiasts that really like our boats and are happy to take anybody along for a demo ride without any strings attached.

I want to propose to maintain this part of the F16 promo package. Maybe even make is a key part.
