Happy One Year Anniversary to our e-newsletter, started just 60 days after a change in ownership last year.  Thank you to all WindRider owners for your support and enjoyment of these wonderful sailboats.  And we look forward to our guests becoming members of the WindRider Owners Community.  In fact, now is a great time to become an owner so you can join us in Sarasota, Florida in October.  See article below.  

"I just want to say one word to you -- just one word -- 'plastics.'"

For those of you who remember, it was almost 44 years ago that the world first chortled at the scene in "The Graduate" in which a smug Los Angeles businessman takes aside the baby-faced Dustin Hoffman and makes this famous statement.   If that scene were created today, I think the businessman might say 'carbon fiber'.

 

The new WR16 is ready and it has a carbon fiber mast which weighs only 17 pounds, 37% lighter than the original aluminum mast.  You can place your order in either blue or yellow hull color, and at only $4995 is an incredible value.      

  

I guarantee you will enjoy the "new" video on our homepage "History of WindRider" which documents the early days of the WR16 through the eyes and voice of Jim Brown.  Other than the carbon fiber mast, it is the same boat which thousands of you enjoy today, so the videos are very relevant.  

  

Options include trampolines, hand bilge pump, spray diverter, windshield and tiller sticks.  Email me if you would like to order your WR16 today.

Your brand new factory direct WindRider 17, when purchased with a trailer, is being delivered for FREE to your home (contiguous U.S., supplies may be limited) for a limited period of time.  Boats and trailers have gone to customers in July and early August, and we would like more people to be able to take advantage of this value - in dollars and convenience.  Print and send order form.

The WR17 is currently available in blue, yellow or white hulls at a price of $8995.  The customized galvanized steel Yacht Club trailer allows for easy slide on/off at a boat ramp ($1495).   It will arrive with minimal rigging required so you might be sailing the same day. (boat shown is with option Reacher Kit) 

 

 

Last Chance for a RAVE

We hope to have a limited production run this fall based on orders placed before September 1st.   There are only a handful of RAVE hydrofoil trrimaran sailboats still in operation since they were last produced in 2003.  Please  click here to learn how you can be part of the 2012 edition. 
 Replacement Mast for your WR16 (also WR10)

Order a new carbon fiber mast for your older WR16 (or WR10 now WRTango) and enjoy the benefit of this rugged lightweight 24 foot 3 piece mast.  While our current inventory has been spoken for, another shipment has been ordered.  Call 612-338-2170 or email  with a credit card deposit to hold your new mast.  Only $895 plus shipping will have your old WR16 acting like a youngster (and maybe you'll have a little more spring in your step).

 
WindRider Owners' Weekend - or WOW

Mark your calendar for the weekend of October 21st and 22nd to meet in beautiful Sarasota, Florida for socializing and sailing.  Bring your boat down and enjoy the sunshine and company of fellow WindRider owners.  lineup on beachAnd for you non-owners we may have some WindRiders to lease, or maybe you would like to pick up a new WindRider while you are there and learn from some of the current owners.  Watch for an email for more developments on the event.   This is the same weekend as the Buzzelli event and some of our owners will want to test their competitive skills on the racecourse.

Sincerely,
