I am getting ready to buy another boat for solo and kids. There is definatly a market for used boats, marketing the boat is the opportunity."
I know a lot of you pooh-pooh the boat, but there is not a better boat for youth out there than the Hobie Wave. Add the Hooter and you have a boat that sails as fast as a H16. It is also bullet proof. The class usually has more boats in attendance at regattas than most classes, has a Youth Division built into every Nationals, Worlds and North Americans.
In fact, it would be the perfect Youth Boat for ISAF.., spread worldwide, affordable, indestructible, etc.
Also great for women and older sailors.
