Sell the Capricorn for about $20,000 after the Worlds $63,595 - $20,000 = $43,595 loss over 16 month period ie from October 2005 to Feb 2007 Take out the $9,000 price of coaching and that still leaves a $34,595 loss for an average local sailing campaign. These are figures I have quoted on my sponsorship proposal and does not include breakages. |

The correct answer is for the running cost of a boat is "Twice as much as you are prepared to admit to yourself". And four times what you are preparerd to admit to your wife. Edited by Stefan Lloyd |

From experience, I am absoutely convinced that the 49er is a £50 per week habit. If you factor in sail wear and tear, rope, block and cleat replacement, the odd tiller extension, cans of dry lube etc etc. I can't give up sailing the 49er so I have given up counting the cost!!!

Doesn't work at all for a sportsboat on the Hamble. I bought it for £16K and spent around £6K a year. |

AUS$, presumably? £1 = 2.36AUS$ What could you sell the boat and trailer for at the end? If it is a budget for a specific event, that really ought to be in the equation.

The running costs question is like asking how long is a piece of string? You can roughly account for how much you may plan to spend in a season but it doesn't really work out like that. Saying that, we haven't spent too much on our boat having to replace parts and it hasn't been much more expensive than what we accounted for. Through pure wear and tear, we've only replaced vang arms and the rest of the expenditure has been out of choice.

I sail an 800, it doesnt cost as much as people are making out. Unless of course you have the odd mast breakage, or fall through the sail accidents happen, this of course is goin to bring an average of Costs up! Smaller costs are going to go towards ropes or blocks, as of yet I dont think I have replaced any blocks, and only a few lenghts of rope. Tiller extensions aren't too kind though, went through a couple of them too, carbon at that. Just reading back through that acutally, has got me thinking....... Edited by simsy |
