Last time used mining cards were selling at 20-30% of msrp so just wait till prices go down to the bottom. Pandemic is over, nobody wants/can play games instead of life anymore.
We had kids flying in from all over the world to learn and compete. Other youth sports such as basketball, soccer, football were effectively shutdown.
The program here is very chill and fun, but the kids are still expected to be sailing properly. Racing focused classes are available if desired.
The highlight of the summer was when SailGP was in town and they decided to get a closer look during the practice sessions. They got so close to the boats going 50+ knots that the course organizers went out to yell at them to get away.
This summer because of pent up travel demand for the last 2 years even our locals have decided to travel for summer. Some weeks are fully booked some are dramatically less.
Have you looked at SailGP Inspire? I’m hoping to have a few compete in their programs in the next few years.
If you can get the kids into the program and they do well, it appears to open a lot of doors.

Anecdotally over the last couple months most of the people I know have caught it and recovered a week later.
A. Leonardi hypothesizes that naive T cells are protective. Older people have fewer. Hyperstimulation due to antigen will cause the process from naive to effector to proceed and over time deplete that population.
In any case, COVID is slightly better controlled with vaccination to the point where it doesn't outright kill you, but that doesn't mean that with a seatbelt I'm looking to crash my car on the reg. You don't walk away healthier each time.
