Price of the I-cat (FXOne Carbon) is about 17.500 euro in Europe (I guess that is the base model, one-up).

I also really wonder what the boat will weigh. Hobie Holland didn't reply yet.

In my opinion the F18 bows look very thin. I really wonder how they will cope with heavy seas under kite.
If you see the shape of the new hull, it is clear that the Cap, Viper and Blade were really innovative already years ago. Especially the Blade if you check the thin high aspect daggerboards and rudders.
