We certainly remember that! There is a fleet of Nacra 15s being shipped around in a similar fashion, but without the formal program or publicity.

US Sailing is also trying something similar (but borrowing local boats), and providing coaches. Try it Out is the new program.

There isn't an organized path from there. If kids like the boat, what do they do next? Single-boat sailing, even with coaching, is not going to satisfy anyone. They need consistent fleet racing opportunities.
