I did the conversion 11000 EURO=$14279 American Dollars. This is way too much money for a kids boat. There is not going to be any youth that buy this boat to practice on. You could buy an F18 cheaper and have more competition. They really should have picked something much cheaper. I'll send a letter but I'm not sure if it will do much. Perhaps the other members of the Multihull Council can get together on this issue. It really seems to be going in the wrong direction.
