I understand that the stuff will add up fast. But if this boat is going to be a boat for the masses then it has to be cheap!
The designers of this boat need to aim very high (low price) that way if you miss the mark the boat is still cheap.



Currently alot of money is taken out of the design but not using any specilized gear like traveller rails, cleats, blocks, shackles, etc. Surprisingly enough this does safe a bundle.

But in order to make it really cheap you have to accept doing alot of building yourself.

Expecting somebody else to build the stuff at some reasonable quality and then only pay "ice-cream" money is simply unrealistic. The guy doing the labour is doing so to pay the morgage, childrens education fund and his own retirement. Like that it will never be dirt cheap.

I'll show you more of the design shortly
