Rig - Remember, the savings between the component price and the price including rigs by some manufacturers will be made up with your time putting the rigs together, not a quick job at all. The cost of all the parts for your first rig, including sails, is estimated at a Total Cost of $250.

  • Mast; The mast is a 1/2 inch diameter.
  • Booms; The booms are the SAILSetc, extrusion for the main and the lightweight arrow shaft for the jib.
  • Rig Fittings; The fittings are the SAILSetc parts noted in the fittings section.
  • The above items, in a complete kit from Great Basin Model Yachts is $148 including shipping for an 05R kit plus an 08 accessory kit for $32 for a total of $180.
  • Sails  $70; The sails are Housemartin, about $20 under other sails
    •

    Winch and Electronics - Total Cost $348

    • Winch  $185; The winch included is ether a RMG, model 280DL, or a Whirlwind which weighs a little less and some boats are configured for it. 
    • Electronics $163; The radio is a standard at $70, plus about $48 for 13 batteries and $45 for a charger, (a computer model will add at least $100).

    So, the cost of the rig and electronics that you have to add to the cost of the boat and shipping is about $598.

    See the detailed sections on the right, for information about the components, and the various suppliers.

    Notes to the table: 

    • The boat cost includes some options like paint and installed deck fittings.

    • Ship is the cost of packing, shipping and insurance, E indicates an estimate or no information, be sure to recognize the cost of shipping, ask, don’t guess or trust my numbers.

    • The total should get you sailing, and there are some under $1500 with a #1 rig. 

    • To add a #2 rig, once you have all the miscellaneous rigging supplies, would cost about $170 for a kit from Great Basin Model Yachting.

    • Pay attention to the "E", estimated or missing shipping costs!
