Buying and selling a boat would be great, especially if you can string a couple events together before selling it. Again, tough on the grad student budget because of the initial investment.
I'm hoping that if we take a year off and save, maybe we can make 2014 happen. If the 2015 Worlds end up going to Argentina it will likely be a Jan/Feb event and shipping boats becomes an option. Tuscany is going to be great, I hope they fill all 200 slots with a waiting list!
I would think that depends on the major... Rocket Science should generate a good living after you're done to pay off that F18
student loan
...
A graduate degree in interpretive dance however, maybe not. Don't ask me how I know.
I'm merely an Ocean Engineer/Hydrodynamicist, although that does allow me to claim that sailing is
research

so you're going to invent the next environmentally friendly bottom-paint? Sweet.

I have a lightly used PSA Capricorn F-18 Belongs to the General Manager of PSA Chris Caldecoate. He was going to take this boat to the worlds but said if anyone wants it we can let it go at $18,000. We could ship it with the rest of our boats going to the worlds.
After the world you could ship it back and you can sell which ever boat you like least. You would have a 2012 boat for under $20,000 that way, and no time without a boat and a chance to race the worlds. Chris will be there at the worlds to help with rigging and tuning questions. His previous boat was a Infusion so he will have transition knowledge to share.
We may also have access to another Capricorn same condition. Boat can be seen here it is AUS 6 with the bow #22.
