thanks for all the info guys. really appreciated.

"...even more simple than a Laser or Sunfish."

with all due respect, i am not sure i could agree with that. i've owned a Minifish for 25 years and it's just like a sunfish, only shorter. no shrouds, mast slips into a hole, sail remains rigged on the mast and boom, etc. probably the easiest boats in the world to car-top or trailer. anything with shrouds and a ball-mounted mast, such as the Wave, must be at least a little more time consuming, though still "easy" in the grand scheme of things.

thanks again.
