In reply to Keith who suggested that comparing Power boat sales to sailboat sales was apples to oranges.
<br>
<br>Okay, I'll change the comparison. There are 15 new J105s sailing in the Bay area this year. They start at around $80,000 if memory serves and you will spend $5,000 every two years or so on average for sails.
<br>
<br>The recent Annapolis Boat Show saw 4 FARR 395s sold at a ticket of about $330,000 each.
<br>
<br>Three's plenty of money out there.
<br>
<br>The last example I'll site is here in Newport Beach where we sold 17 Harbor 20s in 1999. They cost $27,000 on average and are a two person day sailor.
<br>
<br>You just have to meet the market requirements and there are plenty of customers with plenty of money out there to spend.
