Dave Bagley, our Owner Rep in Oklahoma, will be a gift recipient in our ongoing campaign for more fun photos of WindRiders and their owners.  He just couldn't bear to put his WR17 into storage quite yet, and so decided to dress it up for the Christmas season.

Please send your photos to me and you too may receive a special thank-you gift.  

Second Shipment to Australia   

This week WindRider loaded a container of WindRiders bound for Australia which is the second shipment in 60 days.  Australians have a HUGE interest in sailing, especially multihulls, so we look forward to welcoming many more Australian owners into the WindRider family in the coming year.    At right is a photo of Robert Sanberg with a container packed with WindRiders, ready to be sealed and not opened again until hitting port in Brisbane, Australia.   

The shipment of WindRiders sent off to Chile last month will be arriving this week in Santiago.  And we plan to announce new Dealers for France and United Kingdom this month.   

Save Money on a 2012 WR17

Prices of raw materials have increased and we need to increase our prices on the 2012 WR16 and WR17.  For those of you who plan to buy next year, consider purchasing in December for winter or spring delivery.  For a limited number of buyers WindRider will make special arrangements on the price and delivery (contiguous U.S. only).

Please call the office at 612-338-2170 or email Dean@windrider.com for more information on a special December offer.   

Club WindRider?

Would you like to connect with other WindRiders owners?  You may know of some close by, and even sail together, but then again maybe you don't.   

WindRider owners tend to be sociable people and Club WindRider aims to bring you closer connections in your community and around the world.  Watch for a survey in your email box soon, the results of which will help us create a Club that enhances your WindRider experience.

Max, Alex, Jim and Mac

This photo has a great range of our WindRider enthusiasts.  Of course, Jim Brown, second from right and the designer of the WR16 and WR17 would be the king of enthusiasts.  Jim was kind enough to create a short video of some of our owners and the options and customization they have made to their boats.

But how about Max Woodburn of Georgia, at far left, who at 13 exemplifies the new generation of WindRider sailors.  He was a master of the WR16 and would have sailed around the clock if not encouraged by his Dad, David, to come to dry land to claim his trophy in the Buzzelli Regatta.    

Then there is Alex Nash-Ford, second from left who, with her husband Mark, is our Rep in Denver. Alex is now a champion sailor of all three models of WindRiders: WRTango, WR16 and WR17, eagerly demonstrating for potential buyers.  And finally, Mac MacDevitt, right, of New York who is an Owner Rep for WindRider on Lake Champlain, and who expertly piloted the WindRider I rode in during the fun scavenger photo hunt.   I challenge anyone to find a finer group of people than WindRider owners.
