Ok Im confused...
No Olympic campaign is cheap.. Ts are overbuilt and thus last a lot longer than other Olympic boats apart from the Star...
Yes the up-front cost is higher then I believe there will be hulls that are 2 campaigns old sailing at this olympics.. How many lasers can one say that? Anyone like to guess at 49ers? 470s?
As for one design unless the definitions of one design have changed Ts are one design.. Thus their sails are one design..
