What does all this discussion have to do with the availablity of an A2?
I have given up trying to get any pricing and delivery on the A2 and have a Flyer on order.
As far as if the A boats are worth the price, you have to look at it in the context of racing within the class. For Portsmouth you have just as much a chance of winning on corrected time with a 20 year old Hobie 14 Turbo as you do spending money on the latest hot boat.
