Think 50% more than that, on the south coast anyway. |

I am not convinced by the "cost" argument.....and perhaps that is because I am coming at it from the angle of a Viper or a K6 as an alternative to a keelboat.
I am hoping that the "dinghy with a keel" category of boat will be less money to run than an SB 20 sports boat because they truly can be ramp launched.....and a whole lot less to run than an X boat or an Etchell. These boats are much lighter than sports boats like J 70 etc. they also come with dinghy trollies on their trailers. I have seen lots of pics of Vioers being ramp launched and towed behind average cars. Anyway, I will find out when the weather gets better, because I am going to investigate myself.

Googling Vipers VXs and K6s and I came across this:
They have 54 entries for an event in October and the entry list has only been open for four weeks. I would love for this category of boat to be more active over here. 10 years ago the American one design classes had a reputation of heavy outdated boats while the GBR sailor was seen as more ready to seek high performance . The yanks have either caught up or overtaken. Edited by ChichesterHiss - 04 Mar 17 at 4:13pm |
