But isn't that $3,000 for a boat based upon the kind of boat Wouter is proposing? NOT for a much simpler boat that kids CAN knock about on?
No Mary, it isn't.
You're guessing your way through the argument here.
As such your comments are increasingly removed from what is at hand and as such serves no purpose.
Much earlier in the discussion it was already established that a set of dotan rudders would cost 712 Euro's and mainsail would cost 615 Euro's and the ply for the hulls would 15 Euro's per square meter making the two hulls (5 sheets) cost 434 Euro's. This is 2171 US$.
Together these three cost items make up 65 % of the F12 already and then you still need beams, a mast , a trampoline, boom, blocks, sheet etc.
The basic design is already very simple in order to get down to 3000 Euro's. It is way better then the Wave and Bravo especially in sail tuning but simpler just the same. The F12 doesn't even use a Harken or Ronstan mainsheet block system.
