money (I don't) I'd take a punt and have one.


a new phantom will cost a little over 6k from Speed Sails... reckon you could
buy two for the price of this Devotti if the rumour's anything to go by.

a little over 6 grand by my calculation makes that £8700.00 for a phantom fully kitted with covers trailers and carbon mast boom. but thats from P&B where there ovington hulls and use harken fittings.

i'm sure if you spoke to luca nicely he would do you a deal on the D1, same as if you dealt directly with any company and bought all the parts seperately you could beat any business's prices.

so your point is pick the right time to buy and you'll get the boat for a really cheap price so if the pound became really strong against the euro you'd then be able to reverse it and say you could get too D1's for the price of a phantom.

Suppliers normally work on bulk orders,i think if you spoke with Mr Harken direct for a 10 cleats and twenty blocks he would refer you to one of his distributors.  I have not ordered a new boat lately so wouldnt like to comment on the "deals" available, but as with most things in life, its a supply and demand thing.  I should imagine new boats sales are right down at the moment, stock is ageing wave some cash to move another unit and a deal could be had.  On newer products this isnt always the case as the demand (sometimes) far outstrips supply.

Hopefully the pound won't strengthen too much again and with any luck this
financial climate might just be the death knell for the bloody pound. I for
one am up for focusing on our global economic future rather than chewing
the fat over our good ol' days of an imperial era long since forgotten by the
rest of the world.

I agree, we shouldn't be under any illusions that prices on imported goods will dop if the pound ever strengthens, it just won't happen.  Get used to paying inflated prices on imports or hope we get the Euro!
