That's beyond my current unsponsored toy budget, but certainly within the realm of probability, nigh similar price to the F20c, and I know I'd rather have the full flying boat. Heck a new Nacra Olympic 17 is 19K Euro or $26K USD now. New F18 is in the 22-25K USD range dependent on model. What's another $10K in the grand scheme of things?

Honestly, given the extreme complexity discussed in the C-Class designer happy hour in building these foils, you can see why the cost is what it is. Look at the cost of existing foils-$1300 for a single high aspect ratio straight board. New c-boards for the F20c is supposedly in the $2K realm PER BOARD. I suspect an L-foil will be near $5K/board to build. Hopefully cheaper in mass, but the Hydros boys are using titanium on the junction, and lots of R&D on the Groupama and Canadian boats to get it done in carbon.
