It's always interesting to watch who gets excited by these types of debates.
Seems like racing will get big popular again when there is a good simple boat to rally around for the beginners. Boat ownership has gotten harder, IMO.
Compared to powerboating the costs aren't bad, though. There are marinas chock full of hot powerboats. An outboard motor on new powerboats
alone are in the $6K range. With the Wave, Rick and Mary seem to have the Hobie instinct for what makes things click.
Do the expert racers (with their "proprietary knowledge" of the cats) turn their noses up at the Wave at regattas or not?
