What this video covers

Thomas Nilsson tours the budget end of the Düsseldorf boat show, comparing new sailboats priced from roughly €4,900 to €20,000.▶ 0:02 The cheapest exhibit is a Deltania dinghy at €4,900; the Dinghy Go, a sailing dinghy, follows at €5,200.▶ 0:07 A foiling boat from Birdyfish runs €14,000.▶ 0:57 The La Gazelle De Sable, an 8-foot classic-style boat with four sails and an electric inboard motor developed with Temo, costs €12,000 and is configurable for sail colour, number of sails (one to three, with an optional genoa), and finish level.▶ 1:40 Nilsson notes no Norwegian owner yet exists for that model, with only one on the Swedish west coast.▶ 1:41 The La Gazelle d'Ile, a 12.8-foot two-masted ketch-style boat with five sails — available with three masts — costs around €20,000.▶ 2:50 Nilsson owns an Albin Sirius bought for €19,000 and uses it as a personal reference point throughout, framing the tour as a search for what an ordinary sailor could realistically afford to upgrade to.▶ 0:26
