In Replying to Matt Miller,
I was pretty sure that a good deal of the Wave sales came from people that experienced sailing them at a resort.
Just a thought, but is there a chance that for each time you sell a boat, you could include information on the class and a way to contact them.
For example, if all the Waves came out of the woodwork, it would probably be the biggest class in the world. If Hobie Cat could simply enclose a brochure with the purchase (the class could make it up)that gave them info on the class and contact info and the ability for them to join an opt-in mailing list, we might be able to get more folks out on the water with us.
And the more folks see a lot of people out there sailing and having fun, the more they want to participate -- sort of the sheep syndrome. baaaah <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Just a thought,
