The Cost of a new HT?

Mine was close to $12k, slightly used in 2002. (Randy Smythe sailed it in one race.) The new ones were closer to $14k, and most owners added a bunch of stuff to them like snuffers and carbon spin poles and other add-ons.

Most owners added at least the snuffer.

Since then the Euro has dramatically changed and we dont enjoy the same exchange rate. Back in 2002 the dollar was strong against the Euro so we effectively got a 30% discount on boats coming in from overseas.

New today I would guess an HT would be over $18k and it would be hard to get given that most of them are made in Italy or in Europe.
