The Tornado price you have is a couple of years old and does not include sails.
There is only one opportunity to buy an F20C for less than a new F18 - that is a used vs new scenario, too.
Yes, prices have gone up - in that period, we have seen all F18 production go overseas, so every purchase price for US sailors is based on some other currency. Until Matt finishes the new Falcon Marine F18, that situation will continue.
In addition, while I appreciate your sticker-shock, please take 15 minutes and price a Melges 24... or even the jib for a FARR 40. We have world-class racing for a fraction of the cost in just about any other class on the planet.

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
