Interesting prizes at moths

The single most expensive part I can find from any manufacturer is a mainfoil at £2600, but this includes both parts and it'd be pretty unusual to do both.

Mast is £900 plus VAT, sails have got a bit silly at £2k.

When Moth sailors talk about breakages most of the time it's stuff like ropes and running rigging - there is little redundancy on a Moth and if something like this fails it's generally race over and with the high loads on everything boatwork is key.

Having arrived in Weymouth after a 25+ knot day of racing I was surprised how little repair work was going on.

To be fair, your point is still valid - when the top 4 are pros with equipment deals what use is a voucher for a new wetsuit? Thankfully I know the winner donated his to his highly talented yet humble boatbuilder.
