I believe it could be done reasonably for $400. This would not use
the cheapest materials but not the best either.
I'd really like to see a modern stitch and glue version of the MiniCup.


Thanks, thought about building one a couple of years ago , with the gas
prices I'm giving it some serious thought this time.


I think that by using 3 mm ply, stitch and glue instead of the
stringers the plans have and then glassing with 4 oz. glass, the new
MiniCup could be made considerably lighter than the old version. I'd
use 18 oz biax around the mast step and daggerboard hole and maybe 8
oz around the cockpit edges.
