According to this French dealor

17600 Euro's

When it is NOT fitted with a spinnaker, jib or other "options"


Just to give you an idea, you can buy a Tiger F18 STX with the same dealor for 15613 Euro's including the jib, spi etc.

The most expensive F16 in EU with a carbon mast upgrade (jib, selftacker, carbon foils, snuffer and pentex sails are of course standard) comes out at 17500 Euro's ready to sail. Other F16's (like the carbon stealth) are cheaper then that.

If my memory serves me right then I can buy a modern design A-cat for 17500 Euro's as well (alu beams)
