How can they charge so much for hydrofoils? they must have a huge profit on each one they sell |

They're quite complex bits of kit. Plus it's not just the foils it's the whole kit ; gantry wand, stock etc.

Yes but I wouldn't think it cost anywhere near that to make. I guess people are willing to buy for that so good on them?

Its not just the building cost of them though its the time and cost been put in developing them surely. You get alot of kit and there never going to sell alot of them so they are bound to be expensive. But when you can get a cheap 600 for under £1500 its alot. Edited by Kudlinski |

I challenge you to make one, then put a price on it. after breaking the first 4 learning how to do it properly... RnD costs are pretty high! |

Twas a 49er. I was rolling a sail on the shore, heard a sickening crunch and looked up to see them tangling. |

I was one of the ten lifting it out! And then my finger did the silly thing where it curls up tight all the way and I cant wilfully straighten it! Only seems to happen when I have been holding onto a daggerboard for a long time! |
