I'd like to buy a used Wave, but am having a hard time finding one here in Arizona. I'd be willing to drive to California or Texas to purchase one but find none advertised in electronic forums such as Catsailor. I've heard that resorts sometimes sell their used Waves. Does anyone know how to easily find these resorts without calling all over San Diego or Texas? Also, I've heard that the Waves used for the Junior National Championships are available for purchase after the competition. Is this true, and how does one go about contacting the people in charge and bidding on a boat? Thanks.
They are hard to find. While there are tons of them around, there never seem to be many for sale in the used boat market. Guess folks like them so much.
We have had several of them for sale on our Classified Ads. The last one was in NC and sold almost immediately.
Just keep a sharp eye on new Ads.
I wouldn't put much hope into getting a used one from a resort -- they are usually almost totalled. Probably cost as much to repair one as to buy a new one.

Thanks for your input regarding resort boats, and I'll keep my eye posted on the classified ads.

Michele, I have a wave in very good condition, white hulls, purple deck pads, orange mylar sail (and orange bob), galvanized trailor for $2500. Located in Big Bear Lake, Ca. about 5-6 hours from Phoenix: email pbegle@charter.net
Thanks for responding, pbegle. I've sent you an e-mail asking a bunch of questions. Hope to see you in Big Bear soon.--Michele
I'm looking for the lower masts section, or entire mast, if anyone has one for sale.
