[ IMHO the N20 at $35-40K, and with all that carbon tweaking and foils, etc. is an IOC non-starter, because the IOC hates equipment being exploited as a factor in the competition.
The F20 Carbon is a one design, one manufacturer boat that pretty much limits changes to where you put shock cords... So the development costs are simply not an issue there. and the retail price is around 32k USD complete and ready to race Ex tax (and no Olympic teams pay tax in my experience)
Also, who the hell wants to see Tigers racing when you can have a cool boat like the F20???
