there has been crazy inflation in the cost for materials and shipping since the days of the Olympic T campaigns
so are you pro a $50-60 N17 (or other brand) for Olympic class?
I agree - comparing the costs of a yester-year Tornado to a current modern boat is not apples to apples. A Marstrom Tornado built today would probably be closer to $40 or $50k before you start customizing and testing sail after sail (since sails were also open).
