Looks like a bunch of old Elan workers got together to build something nice this time

Do you think we might see some of the Slovenian Mini-ists (Andraz etc) moving up to class 40?

Kristian is looking for funds.

On the Orca website click on 'the boat' link, go to the Evolution section and look at the fourth picture from the left. Is that an upside down swimming pool in the background?

Appears to be so, its not uncommon to see those kinds of things in fiberglass and composite shops,
The marine industry is generally second seat to many others, just not enough people building boats as there are people who want pools.

How much do you think a "regular" new 40 footer costs ? A class 40 is good value when you consider what you are getting performance wise, just taking the savings from all that interior furniture you don't need and put it into waterballast, rig and sails ...

Akilaria sells at 194K.
If you look to epoxy sandwich construction, that is stiffer and lighter, the first three Este40 boat being built at Cantieri Navali d'Este (of which I am co-owner of the first with the boatyard), designed by Sito Aviles and made in infusion, have been sold at 180K at the buoy, without electronic and sails. Next boats will be sold at 195-200.
The Manuard 40 from Bert Mauri, again a Epoxy sandwich construction vacuum laminated (not infusion) sells at 195K.
I agree, 260 is too much.
All price are VAT excluded.

A solid reputable cruiser-racing 40 footer will cost euro 350+ on the water, and that's for a production boat with all the benefots of a series run

I've just seen a post in the main sailing anarchy thread that a new Mills 41 is estimated at $650k on the water - that's Euro 410

ASk the price of the Rogers, or other 3rd generation C40, and you will see 260 is not the most expensive Not the cheapest.... bit up there. For me as boatbuilder its easy to see that the newer shapes and refined bulkheads, waterballast etc can eat up 30 K of labour easily.... if you want the fastest C40, you have to find it in details. And that cost a lot....

Spot on Leo. OK, maybe not the most expensive C40, just the most for a production boat that I had heard of at the time. As much as I love the Class 40, Class 950 concept, wishing the costs down will not make it so. As the boats approach the limit of the box and rules, refinement will provide small advantages, and it clearly costs money. The motivation is there because the Class 40 class and racing events are great.ASk the price of the Rogers, or other 3rd generation C40, and you will see 260 is not the most expensive
