I've been talking to the Laser Centre about the Dart 15 association promoting the sale of new Dart 15s at good discounts to our members. The idea is to organise a one time buy of a number of Dart 15s to give the Laser Centre economy of scale and to pass on the benefit to our members. We want to offer an alternative to the boat show special offer as they no longer take the Dart 15 to the boat show. The Laser Centre are prepared to do it but there is a catch - they want to make the boats in the winter during their slack time. Thus it means ordering the boats in Oct / Nov and taking delivery in Dec / Jan. For a good sized order they will give a decent discount (?500+) which will undercut the boat show prices. I am interested in finding out how popular such a deal would be. We will be discussing it at the AGM at the Nationals next week but any views / comments are welcome.
