No prices on Arripiado (they keep getting paid for big cats, spec proas go on the backburner) or Elementarry (quite possibly going to be the best finished production boat available, as well as the lightest). Both will be pretty expensive by the time they are shipped to Aus.
We have simplified the building somewhat and an Aus built Elementarry would probably now cost around $20,000, depending on the degree of finishing you wanted to do.

After exploring how to stick a foil on, that is clearly the better option. Still, I had to do the mental exploration because I'm like that.
Are there any prices yet on Arippiado and Elementarry, Possibly an Elementarry with a bimini might be enough for up here in Darwin
