Jay, Yeah, a 787 probably has a few more moving parts than an Inter 20, but my point was, you get what you pay for.

Matt is doing some A cat building for Bimare because labor rates (probably due to our weak-butt dollar) in the USA are cheaper than in Italy, but Matt could probably give us much more useful info on the subject of, "What a 20 foot racing cat should cost".

I heard he might be busy right now looking for his underpants or something...some sort of rum induced sillyness to blame.

I once asked somebody (might have been him) how much cheaper a 16 is than an 18 to build, and the answer was, "Not much, the only difference is 2 feet of glasswork, all the other stuff costs the same."

OK, so scale that up to a 20, should be the same logic, right? 2 more feet of glasswork and most of the other stuff is the same, just slightly more sail area. So, how much more than an 18 should a 20 cost?
