Contacted Ovington, both the 6 and the 7 are carbon top sections and alloy bottom sections.
ILCA 6 carbon bottom section available separately for another £849.
The web site has now been amended.

Laser Performance have no stock but you can find sails here. P&B claim to have class legal and class compliant sails in stock, the price difference is £186 (£540 & £364). My class compliant sail is made in China and seems to sail just as well as the class legal sail. As a fleet/club we have...

Apologies, not my intention just my understanding and interpretation of your post which I thought made some very good points. As an engineer I know tolerances cost money because of the additional time and skill needed. Certainly cost might also be a reflection of highly skilled and better paid...
