"I don't think you can learn much from "racing" against other boats on the way to the course or on the way back to the beach after races. Especially if they don't even know you are trying to race them"
when there are 2 boats on the water...there is a race...
Melges are fun boats, but they arent catamarans...
Why are kids not on Waves?
Because the majority of "Yacht Club Kids", are kids with parents that own a monohull. My son will start on an Opti this year at 7 yrs old. He went out twice last year on an Opti, but was a little small for it. I thinl he's ready this year though. Not quite ready for a Wave but that will certainly be next.
