You all remember when the Wave came out? The hard core racers thought it was a joke, but soon Rick brought a bunch of them down to his place for the "Wave Nationals" and voila, a new racing class was born. That's all it takes. It doesn't have to be a state of the art design, just get a bunch of them together and race. I would think a larger, two man or two woman or two kid, double trap 16 foot Wave with a self tacking jib, no boards, etc, would work as both a recreational boat and a racer. Like the Dart 16. You could even put the Hobie Bob on the mast. I would think the Motels would love it and could even sponsor regattas. I think the trapeze is necessary to get racers to buy into it, maybe offer a spin. kit as well.

How much is that new French cat, the 16' "Youth Worlds" boat going to cost when Performance starts selling them? Anyone know?
