Personally, I see things as growing in the sport of catsailing.
This past year we had excellent turnouts for all the regattas and races.
And I sailed more this year than ever before in my 46 years of sailing.
At Put-in-Bay YC this past summer we started with 5 Waves and sailed a weekday series and a weekend series, plus we held a round-robin Men's Day Regatta and a Women's Day Regatta (Free to get folks interested in sailing)
It worked.., it appears this coming summer we will have 10 boats and growing in our fleet.
When we came back to Key Largo, we discovered we already have 9 boats. And we are sailing regular series for midweek and weekend as we did up north.
It appears that many more are now interested in joining us.
Maybe the Wave is not your style, but they are quick to rig, easy to sail and make for darned even racing (nothing you can tweek to make the boat faster.., makes you rely on good starts, good mark roundings, good tacks and good tactics).
