   they pretty much give them to you at the 18foot league(sydney). you can apply for a place on a boat to the league, they will allocate you in a crew and give you a boat to race for the year. i dont know of any people who race their that actually own the boats, most are owned by the club and the club organises the sponsorship (mostly through john winning's appliances company, though i dont klnow any specifics about that.)
downside is that you have to lift them. and do all the maintainence.

	I did once have everything go tits up whilst sheperding a class across the ferry channel in Poole. Just as a gust knocks down the lasers, and the windward shroud on one of the wayfarers snaps, the one of those that plies its trade to Cherbourg/the channel Islands comes steaming round Browsea. Definite browntrouser stuff. But then, they look so small next to proper ferries...
