[quote=samc99us]$23K buys you a new boat. $12K buys you a competitive boat (Tyler was on a chartered Tiger, that's a $8k boat+new sails). $7k for travel costs. You can for sure do the event under $10K and not own a F18.
Placing in the top 25 is unlikely no matter what equipment unless you've been racing forever in other high level classes or been doing a lot of high level F18 racing. The guys in the top 10 are paid by boat builders and a few of them happen to race a lot against each other. Still it comes down to priorities and determination.[/quote]
