In an F16 thread I had mentioned the idea of a 12/14 not trap boat for Olympic class as a great intro for youngsters into the sport. Sort of a cat version of the Laser. I had mentioned that in NZ all of the top flight sailors are serious mono heads by the time they are in their teens and even our Tornado Olympic sailors are ex board sailors. Families here run P class and Starling campaigns for their kids that run into tens of thousands of dollars and the Yacht clubs here are very biased against cats as "real" sail boats. How bigger hill is it to gain a class like Wave to get more young people after an Olympic medal on two hulls?
