OK so if there is ever going to be a real change in the sail design it seems like there has to be a compelling business case that Vanguard, North (I am in Florida after all) and ILCA will make as much or more money than they do now off of laser sails.
So this spreadsheet shows my assumptions and seems to indicate that with those WAGs -- I mean well researched assumptions -- the business case seems reasonable. We could have a much improved sail for about $1000.
Of course it means the price of a new boat goes up by ~$400 and I didn't figure that into how many fewer boats Vanguard sells.
