What do you think labor makes at Doyle or UK? I know...and I was
surprised. The woman who does my canvas works for Doyle and used to
work for UK here, and was at North years ago. She makes less than 20
dollars per hour. How long do you think it takes her to make an extra
set of reefs and what is that really worth? I know what he's paying for
Kevlar vs. Pentax. It's actually how my first discussion started off
because I felt he charged way less to exotic fabrics than others. He
then explained the actual cost differences from buying them to working
with them and associated waste. Most lofts are simply stealing from you
and I can prove it if you'd like to actually call the loft. It's up to
you.



What do you think it costs to hire a person?

7% for SSI

5% for Medicare

2% Unemployment insurance

$3/hr for health insurance

Rent at $20/sq ft

Heating and cooling

Electricity

Secretary and HR costs

and there is more.


If one buys sails from you they are putting people out of work.

Next you will be offering heart surgery in the back alley.
