Thank you for the Tommy Bahama budget, that is very helpful. I would add 50% to that for 2018 price hikes over 2002 numbers. Hopefully the organizers are also aware that a new F20C is a $40k purchase (vs. the peak price of a Nacra 20 at sub $20k, or a new F18 at $25k). That's a lot of money for a platform that isn't particularly race-able after the Worrell and will therefore take a large price cut when you go to sell. Then there is the issue of spare parts, not that many floating around and all come with equally steep replacement costs! Frankly this is the reason I'm on the fence about doing the race, I could take my F18 but no sponsor wants to support a second tear also-ran team...
