Question For SYC: How much did a Jr. Lipton win cost? Including sails, boats, mast breaks, coaching and travel?
Answer Estimate: Sails $5,000. Boat $35,000.*** 2 Mast Breaks $22,000.*** Coaching $2,500. Travel $2,500.
***Boat and Sails probably depreciate just 5% of 40k. Insurance pays for 2 mast breaks minus deductibles.
