ASSASSIN RACING GRS - Full complete boat including Assassin/Holroyd Carbon Foils - $15200 NZD (approx $10200 USD and $7200 Euro)

Also Includes FREIGHT to all major airports worldwide *

these bad boys will give your F16 a sound flogging in anything over 5 knots of breeze.

for bang for buck I don't think the current foiling moths can beat frown


Former F16 sailor, Paul K. here in California jumped over to a moth. On a reach we can't touch them; around a course is very dependent on conditions and skill. Based on my chats with Paul, yes, the initial purchase price may be lower, but the cost of ownership may not be so different...

Also, keep in mind that the Assassin is the super bargain basement Moth out there right now. If you look at the cost of the Mach and others, you start heading toward A-class costs. I think Paul has a Prowler, but I'm not possitive; anyway, it is a beautiful and expensive sculpture of clear-coated carbon.

For example--$16,995 (w/shipping):
