BIM 16 for US at 8500,- (copy from old forum)

(I found this on the old forum, Valerio is the son of Lalo Petrucci = owner Bimare cat company. Ofcourse BIM 16 is grandfathered in into F16 HP class Wouter)

Don't blame me. I am going to tranfer the money due for this promotional campaign to Rick. Since it will take a few day to have the money credited, please let me anticipate the basic terms of this promotional offer. You'll find the full text on BIMARE catamarans web site in a few days (together with the Adbanner on the Home Page of this Forum).

First of all let me explain the main reason of our initiative:

in the last years prices of racing catamarans have surged up to a level which is likely to prevent any further development of the multihull movement. Therefore this promotion is aimed to give a competitive boat to eveyone willing to sail the 2002 A class Worlds to be held at Martha's Vineyard next september.

This are the main terms of our offer:

2002 JAVELIN A class cat with beach trolley and tramp cover for USD 10,000 ex Norfolk (VA), freight, duties and taxes included. For features see: www.sailbimare.com

Since we need to receive at least 12 order to complete a 40' container thus cutting down the freight bill, we have decided to extend this offer to the:

BIM 16 (carbon mast/spinnaker kit included), the same boat so successfully sailed by WF Oliver last spring. This boat again with beach trolley and tramp cover will be offered at USD 8,500 ex Norfolk (VA) freight, duties and taxes included.

Please do not contact our US agent with regard to this promotion. In order to keep down prices we have cut ALSO his margin. Anyway, if our initiative is successfull, our US agent will take care of boats' delivery to their purchaser, as well as post-selling assistance.

This offer will expiry on November 30, 2001.

During this period no deposit will be asked. After receipt of the 12th orders, you will be contacted and informed about the payment terms. Anyway they do not differ from the ones usually practised.
