Ah... it quickly comes to to the Benjamins..

The monohull guys have threads like what is the cost to campaign. They use the east coast signature events like Key West, Charlston, Annapolis, Block Island etc and then NA's. For example, A cats have their 4 event (two days each) Florida Winter series and their week long NA's.

What is the basic national level campaign for your class and what are the costs for the campaign?
Transportation, Housing, Food, Sails, Coaching and the equipment upgrades/ replacement schedule to be competitive.

Of course, a regional campaign will be much less.... so how much do you budget and how far do you travel for your regional campaign of 10 boat fleets.

The problem for the new toys will be... What exactly is that campaign.... You need events that you want to compete and win at... What would you take a flying boat to??
