Brian is right about the title of the prior thread. The answers given here went along the same vein......

Like it or not, we have become an instant gratification society. I ask my son what he dislikes the most about sailing and he says, "It takes too long to set it all up and take it all down." While he is out there he has a ball swinging and singing on the trapeze. By the way, has anyone ever untied the bungie cord on the trapeze lines
and let their kids try to purposely swing all the way around the forestay to the other side and back again? It's a great activity while waiting for the wind to pick up.

Anyway, back to the subject, everytime I bring a new person and they see all the steps involved they say, "I could never do all this." I had a pilot tell me that last week. I said, "That is why I have this pre-flight list! Just like you do before you fly." People love it when they get out there but they just don't seem to have the love of it to A) buy one. B)learn to put it together C)Play with it.

Since Mary asked the question way back I have found myself asking the same question over and over again. I haven't found an answer to keep the sport alive except those already said, take as many new people out as you can. I'm pessimistic for it's future as the number of us dwindles and the available launch sites dwindles. At least it doesn't take much gas.
