This setup in indeed the Dotan setup I was looking at.

£236.00 = 350 euro or 457 US$

So 700 Euro c.q. 914 USD for a pair.

That is quite an attractive pricing.

And the rudders will be the most expensive part on the boat after maybe the hulls. For that price I would consider buying these rudders that is if they are up to specs and stiff. As I wrote earlier the rudders will replace the daggerboard to a significant extent so a proper rudder design will go a long way in improving upwind performance.

I've noted this info down in the design paper thanks for looking it up.



Ohh, sorry, but only coined the 3000 USD mark because that is what I'm trying to get to. The onderlaying thought is that Vanguard sells the optimist dinghy for 2500 US$ and I want to stay close to that. Therefor I personally consider anything under 3000 USD a succes for the F12. It is not based on real costs yet. It is just a design goal at this time.

Still it is looking good on this aspect.

Does anybody know what sheets of 4 or 3 mm ply cost in US$ and Euro, highest quality ?
