According to SA, the price in the US is $6940 complete... at today's FX, that's less than £4200 - including the dealer's margin.  

I don't know US prices for Lasers, but that's got to be there or thereabouts cheaper surely?  Nice one.

Couldn't resist looking it up Price: $5,945.00 for a Laser Standard Race (= £3575 ish), probably no covers or trolly in that but I'm sure it's negotiable (isn't everything?)

BTW it seems a Radial Race cost more than a Standard Race at Price: $6,065.00 is that normal???

that's cheaper than I anticipated- anyway, I hope it doesn't disprove my intention for posting- that being the Aero looks like great value for money.  God Bless America n' all that.

So why is it more expensive in the UK? Confused

Could quite possibly be just down to TAX

As pointed out earlier - US price of $6940 is ex sales tax. UK launch price is £4058.33 ex tax (£4870 inc VAT).

So the US price is a little more expensive, due to freight.

People ordering boats seem very happy with the value - on both sides of the Pond!

There was an Aero 5 racing at Gurnard SC last Sunday - it looked a bit  like an Oppy Confused with the small sail, but it was in front of the standard sail Lasers in the same handicap class  Thumbs Up
