I asked, but I don't remember what the price tag was on it. It was spendy, but nothing super obscene. I want to say it was a bit less than the cost of buying three boards.


A few years ago I kept rough track of how much I spent on sailing. It was well north of $10k, and I stopped keeping track. Sail wear and tear, vehicle depreciation/fuel/maintanance, coaching, housing, trailer maintenance, and boat cost. It gets to be quite a bit in pretty short order.

Hell, a normal semi local weekend regatta typically costs me $400 just in immediate expenses, (fuel/housing/entry fees)

Its 3400 miles to Founders Park from here, its usually at least $1k in fuel.

Gotta pay to play. Still some of the cheapest racing available that requires anything more than simple equipment like running, skiing, bicycles, etc
