To make the boat exciting it will need to have a trapeze. Without the trapeze all you have is two lasers attached. I mean I am sure it would be different but if you are hiking just like the laser crowd you don't look that different. But if some kid is on a laser hiking out, and some kid flys by them trapped out.... we will have one more cat sailor.

The cool factor is a must. THe boat has to look like the bigger cats. That was what drew me away from my little 14. I can't afford a really nice new boat but the 5.2 sure looks a hell of alot closer to those nicer cats than the 14 did. If the boat looks like the bigger boat that dad is sailing kids will love it!

I brought this topic up on the Hobie forum a while back and got flamed for it. I had mentioned the idea that the boat could be built for 3 possibly even 4 thousand dollars. Alot of the people at Hobie ripped me for that idea saying that there was no way it could be done. So I would say that Hobie is not the company to go to with the idea.
