looks like 1.5mm for the boat and 2mm to race it. I know where a beautiful 47 Apache hull is for 40k. In Dubai for the class 1 WC races they were testing the air lingus sailboat team , I heard 12mm us budget for the test season.
I need to get a ride on one of those things in rough seas. ......without the dangerzone music
