Ice BoatingA used DN is probably the best investment to get going quickly and have resale value if you move up or out of ice boating. $1,000 to $1,500 (all prices US$) can get you a perfectly sailable boat.If you are very serious about DN racing you might want a top-of-the-line commercially built new DN. This could total $1400 for a carbon mast, $1400 for a fuselage, and about $500 each for water-jet-cut steel with carbon reinforcement runners (needs 3). Oh yes, you will also need hardware for that fuselage and a sail plus boom would be helpful. The DN is a development 'one design' class. Links |
