My local Hobie dealer has been stuck with a 16 with chute used two years ago at the ISAF youth games for a week in Cork. It's at the Annapolis boat show every year... nobody wants it.
With max attendance at 15 boats... and many areas with no participation or minimal participation.. WHY SHOULD WE KEEP DOING THIS?
Please don't mix issues.
The boats in question were going to be shipped to Europe after the Alter Cup. So, selling them on the US market would not have been an issue. Just class business.
And Area L had 17 boats for this years Qualifier. A 3-fold increase over last year.
