UK List for the rig is £350 (when I last checked), the Harken kicker you can pick up the bottom assembly for around £80-£100 and do the rest yourself using other blocks, a full assembled one for around £140. Cunningham you can do youself using a couple of blocks and some rope.

I have a mate who has a old style kicker that he has adapted to 12:1 which just about works for him ( he has to be a bit aniaml with it and cannot adjust it at all though).

The guys to speak to are Rooster themselves though, Steve is a helpful guy.

Failing that rigs do occasionally appear on Apolloduck/Ebay for around £200-£250.

That price is including the main sail its not a laser sail as such so does not have inflated price.

Wot Rockhopper says ^^ The £350 for the rig gets you a sail (inc numbers and battens) and either a longer lower mast or a fibreglass extension for your standard mast (I would recommend a fibreglass etender as it will save you a packet in courier costs!

I think there are all the ex-hire 8.1 rigs for sale, £300 I think and only used for a couple of light wind races at the nationals.
