Kevin: That is a very interresting point you make with regards to the price of the boat.
I never tough about the tooling cost, and assumed it was materials and working hours + fittings that made the boat expensive.

That would explain why Gøran Marstrøm broke down sobbing when he accidentaly broke one of his moulds while moving it into the autoclave (this was while Marstrøm was quite new in the market)..

With the current production methods and weight limit the Tornado's really last a long time. Would you say that they are overbuildt and that a skilled homebuilder can build as stiff and lasting boat as Marstrøm in his garage within the class rules ?
(I'm not out 'trolling' here, just want to hear your opinion)
