[quote=bacho][quote=pbegle]The premise of the article seems to me to be far from the mark. $23,000 without wing seats or spinnaker or shipping across the ocean is not tempting to buy a 380 lb boat. The carbon Whisper at half the weight is proof of that with a similar price point producing 40 boats in two years time. The boat that will make foiling mainstream is the UFO with 60 orders plus a container to go to Australia (where the dollar is 1.37) and a price of $7600 plus shipping. The reports of great stability, car top ability, early foiling of this 110 lb craft is what mainstream is about. Pete[/quote]
Maybe something along the lines of the UFO, but the lines of the UFO are a huge stumbling block. A nicer looking boat would make a WORLD of difference. I understand the Clarks and many other consider that non-sense but its something that should be taken very seriously IMO.[/quote]
