I'm trying to get close to the optimist cost price. I won't be able to get down to the lowest cost price that is of the Topper dinghy as that is 2000 US$ and that is darn cheap but it is also as slow as a snail. So that is alright.
Made a mistake here. The Topper is sold at 3294 USD in the US.
The cheapest dinghy in the US is the optimist from vanguard at 2450 US$
The Byte dinghy is the second cheapest in the USA at 4000 US$
The come the laser dinghies and the more modern boats like the 29-er. I haven't found any US specific quotes on that.
Also, does anybody know what a new Hobie Wave or Hobie 14 costs in the USA ?
