Plus a little more local support, for whatever that is worth in Nacra $$ these days. IMO, at this stage of the game, if you have to ask what it costs you don't have the capital required for WHEN the foils break. The other route to take is do the design work and build work yourself; how much is your time worth and are you as good as M&M at design work?

How many non-flying F20c's are there? How many Phantoms are there in the U.S in the road-legal stock F-18 version? Remember, both of these boats are 10' wide and carbon prices aren't going down. The only classes you'll be racing in full flying this decade are the Moth and A-cat, otherwise it's a line-honors machine.

There is also a lot more going on in Europe than Nacraman is letting on in this thread....Mark have any leads on a good used Marstrom T w/ modern carbon rig?
