it is designed to current slalom boat constraints, therefore
www.usack.org/content/index/4509

350 cm long
60cm wide
weighs 14 kg fully outfitted (it's a plastic boat not composite) most freestyle boats are 16 - 18 kg, creekers more)
the cockpit is standard slalom boat size (I have not measured it)
volumes are not taken on slalom boats

Since there is a container being shipped to Charlotte, does this mean that the USNWC has ordered some boats, since they still have Dragorossi listed as a company that you can demo boats from?

a container is not being shipped to Charlotte. It is being shipped to me. Charlotte is just a logical delivery point when I make my trip through the southeast on the weekend after the container arrives.

USNWC expressed lots of interest but has yet to follow up so they are not on the order sheet yet.

Everything goes through me with this one. True grass roots.

USNWC has ordered two of the plastic slalom boats for their instruction program.
They will be delivered when the boats come into the U.S. in the beginning of March.

The container is full, so not many extras on it. Probably enough room for only about a dozen boats that are not yet sold. But, the way things have been going, half of those will probably sell while the container is en route from Italy.
