[quote=wlrottge]Those numbers are off by quite a bit.
Entry fee: $2,000
Sails: $6,800
Parts: a single dagger board is ~$2,500 and a rudder is $700-ish. Rudder casings are ~$350 per set. Those are parts that you need to have at least one full set of spairs. Same goes for sails... What if you have a bad flip or rip a kite during a takedown? Spare spin pole, boom, mast... The list goes on.
Sailing gear: $2k would get close to covering one sailor. I typically go though a pair of Gill pro full finger gloves every five days during distance races, so... I'll spend $150 in just gloves. Don't forget the PLB which will add ~$300 per sailor. Same goes for your GPS, can't have just one.
Lodging: I think our estimate was a bit higher than that as well. By the time you add taxes in, I think it was closer to $175/night, but I'd have to check my race budget spreadsheet.
Travel: don't forget, have to fly some people to the starting line.
The expenses have grown a lot since the last time this race was run.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by wlrottge on Apr 15, 2019 - 05:52 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
