This is a bad thing for the people owning similar boats...their re-sale values plummet when the market is flooded with low-cost/lightly used boats from events.


But this is a GREAT thing for people wanting to upgrade into perfomance cats without olympic sized bank accounts.

I would LOVE to upgrade to a Tornado for under $10,000


And what of the olympic campaign teams that loose all that value in their boats? A lot of that cost differential is paid by them...making it more difficult to realize their dreams.
Also, after you pick up that $10k boat...its value will drop heavily so you'll loose out when it comes time to sell.
