Hi Randy,
I am 66 and find the Wave the easiest and fastest boat to rig ever. You can stand the mast and put the forestay pin in by yourself. Then all you need to do is put up the sail and off you go.
And the class is very active with a Nationals and North American Championships yearly, with a series of regattas for the their National Series Championship.
All majors have awards for Open, Women, Youth and Masters (55 and over)
