If Hobie has some interest in helping us get some at our club, then we need to talk. Our Sailing Association is a 501c
At the moment, we have a Wave and a Tiger as club boats and would ideally like a T2 to fill the gap.
I would contact the closest dealer and discuss it. We also offer some institutional pricing direct to clubs in certain cases, but sales is not my thing. Contact the dealer or email info@hobiecat.com to route the question to our sales department.
Bic has done a good job of getting their Open Bics into junior sailing programs by offering some very steep discounts for quantity buys for a few years and then modifying the program to offer the same discount regardless of quantity but throwing in training sails and other stuff based on quantity purchased. It also doesn't hurt that they use West Marine as their US distributor. That saved us a huge amount in shipping costs.
Another company that's doing a good job on discounts is RS. We're buying six. They're giving us the quantity 10+ discount. They're now offering a 16 foot cat.
