Been busy but wanted to reply to the Wave Pooh-Pooh Poster. Wow, whoever quoted the prices on that makes it sound like it should be racing with the A-Class Boys -- don't know how you could get the price up that high, but you did.

First of all, there are already a zillion Waves around and used Waves can be acquired at very reasonable prices. To add the Hooter does require spending some money to nearly double the sail power. Granted! But, it would still be as inexpensive as any other proposed boat here in the long run.

Add the fact that for kids this boat would be indestructible. They could hit sea walls and pilings and still keep on ticking like the Energizer Bunny.

And only 2 inches longer than the proposed F12 box rule proposed herein. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
