I like that concept. Somewhat "modern" design, bulletproof, and fun to sail
The best part for the kids is no bailing after a capsize. The Sabots took ten minutes. The Bics have an open stern.
Bic has a junior sail discount program. Retail is about $3100. Discount price is $2600 and they throw in carts depending on quantity.
If a large quantity is ordered Bic will ship directly from France. Quantity 20 gets the price down to $2530 including shipping.
