[quote=Wolfman]True, but you can get relatively high end rotomolded kayaks. So I think if someone put thier mind to it, they could come up with a process to produce a cheaper high performance boat. Unfortunately the R&D costs involved means that it is more likely to come from another industry than sailing.
I look at my mountain bike and compare what I could get 10 years ago for $6000 compared to the bike I can get now for around $700. There isn't as much difference anymore. Even the lower end bikes sport tapered hydroformed tubing now. And you can get carbon framed bikes for a fraction of the cost they were years ago due to manufacturing improvements. I'm hoping that something like this happens to boat building, but I'm not holding my breath.[/quote]
