So you are saying there is no point in trying to market to the U.S. public, and that even if somebody came up with a brilliant idea, the companies would not be able to build enough boats to satisfy the increased demand.

I guess that ends this thread. Thanks for keeping people from wasting their creative energy on a lost cause.


Actually that is a correct statement. If somehow the public became interested in catamarans and there were orders placed for 5000 Inters, 5000 Tigers and 5000 Waves in a single year, I believe that only the waves could be produced at close to that volume and that the Inters and Tigers would take up to 2-3 years to deliver if the companies invested thousands of dollars in ramping up.. The public isn't going to wait 2 years for an Inter or Tiger.

Even demand of 15,000 units is pretty pitiful.

No one would have more to gain from the sport coming back than Sailing Pro Shop...I'd love to see demand return but there are constraints now in place that will not allow this to occur.

Don't get mad at me for stating facts...
