The main problem with the existing boats is that they are getting old and it cost a lot to fix up for cruising. The tooling up is a bit much for 1 or 2 boats. A few years ago there was a site wanting to get a few orders for Flicka's for $ 60g's. This seams a good starting out price for a bare bones boat. My MacGregor fully riged for cruising including dinghy and electroics is around $ 70g's, a bit too much for most. A lot of changes. Most people who cruise wants an inboard, sloop. However these are people who already have a boat. If I could have gotton into a new Flicka for $ 70g's, complete, I would have.
I would feel a bit safer cruising the Bahamas and not worry about going south in a Flicka.
