Asking questions in the manner I did makes you realy see what we are up against. There are many good boats already out there for not a lot of money. What we are missing is the sailors to use them.

<br>Theres new and old boats all over. Although it gets continually bashed on these forums, you can buy a used Hobie 16 almost anywhere (in the US anyway) in good shape for 500-1000. No fuel and minimal upkeep makes it a pretty good investment, because if you find you like sailing, you can get rid of it for what you paid, and move up to a new or different boat.

<br>I am currently building a personal project cat for myself and a couple of friends. I would love to take some of the technology we are working with and use it to build sail boats intro of otherwise, because it is currently going to be used on power boats.

<br>My original post was not, however about making boats its was a plea to the world on how we can grow sailing to the point where the world needs new onto boats.
