Robi,

For you, you had better check what the price of a new main sail is before contemplating purchase. eek

I would be needing a wardrobe change if I were flying a hull like that on my F31!
I am a little partial to the multi23 I think.

Holy cows, thats alot of money, I just got that figure from one of the posts on the video.. I agree with ptp, I'd go with the multi23. Doesn't matter, I can't afford either one.

The ad on the S.A. front page says $197,000 US excludes sails. Tht'd be a pricey suit of sails at $153,000.

Starting from scratch, by the time you add transportation to the states, sales tax, import duties, sails, electronics, trailer, offshore safety equipment, etc., it was going to take $350k to put in my driveway...
