I was thinking the same thing, although I vaguely remember a 45' boat with a CF mast as a $60K option. A 60 foot boat would probably be around $100K.

I'll take the stump off his hands, I could use a new mast and CF would be cool.
That rig is somewhere north of 40m (the mainsail luff is listed at 39.9m), going to be a little more than you think.
