Now that the T is no longer an Olympic class, maybe the price on second hand gear will go down?
For a while, then the secondhand market will dry up. After a while even Marstrøm will stop making parts for the boat or new boats as the market dries out. That is the way I think the Tornado market will go unless the class either get olympic status again or the amateurs take over the class with more affordable niche builders. There is a third scenario with a professionally run class with its own circuit, but I dont think it will succeed.
