You're right, Justin. The Wave is not appropriate for a beginner because he would get bored with it. You have to race for at least 40 years, as my husband and I have, before you get to the point where you are senile enough to appreciate the Wave and the very tight one-design racing this class offers.
But it is nice that beginners buy them, because then the boats quickly end up on the used market so us stupid suckers who love those hunks of junk can get them at a lower price.
