Here is the English translation of Yaplukafer's message...but do not despair
great list!! BUT this is way over price for the bits for three reasons ...first you see I cautions builders on the website about the Plastimo list!! you will not need 750mtrs of ropes
probably own your own sea boots, gloves and wet weather gear and do not need 6 packets of fluro dye and or two heliographs... this is just a shopping list to chose from ( and more than you need) and NO ONE would ever buy it all, as there are decisions to be make from personal choice on what you want...there are options on that list-in other words there is too much equipment in the list. You need to decide what parts from the list you will chose
Some will want Rope clutches, some will use just cam-cleats instead...others on a budget will just use a plastic cleat...the budgets vary by builder..you can sail the 5.80 without winches if you want? some will make wooden hand rails, some will buy them...then even chandlers discount off retail so you are not likely to pay full price and yes we will have a 5.80 Plastimo Builders Pack that will be finished and offered once TREKKA is finished in a month or so and remember TREKKA is built from PLANS not a kit..
Also you can chose any equipment you want and there are many deals to be made. If you make your own mast it cost very little, but takes time and your electrical can be super simple, a few switches on plywood if you like, or buy a finished switchboard the choice is yours. You can make your own windvane for the cost of simple materials, Build your own keel is cheaper than buying one and the sails will be announced in a couple weeks and yes they are world Class Racing Sails as we want to protect everyone's investment in their Globe 5.80 and the price for the quality and back up I know is very good
If you are planning to sail around the bay you will not need to get too complicated and buying choices are based on keeping it simple, but if your planning to sail around the world you will need to have all the required race gear. Spare halyards and all the sails. To get 5.80 Class Certification it will be for the build of the structure, the basic boat, as we know that many will just do Club Racing, so you will not need all the safety gear etc. but that will be required for Ocean events. So we have been saying if you want to build a Globe 5.80 to get sailing with basic gear it will be about Euro $20,000 and if your off around the world you will need about $30-$35,000 and then will you build or buy your trailer...etc...there are may choices and decisions to make and that is part of the fun and budgets will vary, but soon you will have many real world examples from the builders themselves so good luck
If your worred, wait till we get TREKKA launched and shortly after we will give a definitive list of what we used and she will have the works!!! and if it is all too difficult you can consider a SETKA A
....but as with every project...break it down into little bits and if you have the dream ...keep it alive and get started.
On sponsorship..life costs money...and some can do things that others cannot, or have to work longer to achieve their dreams but one thing is for certain....and it is not sponsorship. Sponsors need to trust you and you need to earn that respect and it is not the Event that guarantees sponsors...it is You and your story and what YOU have to offer. It is the most common mistake for sailors to think that by just entering an Event or big spectacular, they will get a sponsor. The Globe 5.80 events will be great fun...but will not in themselves give you a sponsor...You have to sell that idea and activity you're doing and the days of being given money for you to have fun and complete your dream are finished
you will only get a sponsor when they see your actually going , with commitment and passion..then they will JOIN you. YOU have to make it happen, no one else can do that for you, so good luck..Be creative , think smart, get a strong social media following and then local media...DO NOT DO A CROWD FUNDING- they NEVER work and are embarrassing...UNLESS you already have a strong group of followers, who are really into what your doing, the passion you have, and who YOU are,,,then they can be VERY SUCCESSFUL..but be careful,.We will be making various announcements about the Globe 5.80 Events in the months ahead. Hope to see you there.

Hello... I am planning to embark on this great adventure, so I started to know how much this challenge was going to cost me ...
you will find attached a summary file in excel format of the list which is on the site.
this is a first approach because the list can change slightly and why not, .. a discount made by the Sponsor Plastimo who will be getting a good publicity with this race. WE now say you can build your Globe 5.80 doing all the work yourself for about
EXCEL FORMAT FOR CLASSGLOBE PC 5.80 PRICE MATERIAL EXCEL.xlsx (51.44 KB)
Bjr here is the list of the material and the prices of the Plastimo catalog with the references and the links for each article towards the catalog ... (3 working days) see the detail in the file above
I arrive with surprise at the following result
SECURITY 3054 EUROS
PERSONAL EQUIPMENT 1476
EQUIPMENT BRIDGE 3727
HARDWARE 9339
NAVIGATION 1562
ELECTRICITY 4480
PLUMBING 731
MAINTENANCE 356
TOTAL 24 728 EUROS see details in attached files
To this must be added the kit, the mast, the boom, the guying, the sails, the transport of the container, the costs of departure forwarders, the costs of arrival forwarders, navigation insurance, site costs, costs of workers, customs fees, and I certainly forget
I have not yet quantified all this but I think the total will be close to 40,000 euros or even more .. depending on where you are ...? you can reach me by the pseudo yaplukafer forum or by mail yaplukafer@gmail.com or by watsapp +261325687059 René LUCAS Majunga MADAGASCAR. (the poorest country in the world) where I have a large shipyard with many very good skilled workers, we are finishing the construction of a 14m tiki wharram catamaran.
the cost of labor here is low 4 euros per day from 8 am per worker ... it's a little more than the minimum wage here. From the kit we can build several boats here strictly to the standards with a beautiful finish. So see you soon
René LUCAS
It's expensive very expensive ... but the boat is not built for a single race, with a program of 5 races, it comes to 8000 euros per race, which seen thus ... is affordable ... the solution is to find sponsors. This race is prestigious. It would be good for the organizer to offer a press book with the number of TV hours planned, with the broadcasting channels, the number of press articles planned with the name of the media, the presentation of the race, the number of registered, the number of countries represented etc etc, in short a real solid press book to help us find funding.
great list!! BUT this is way over price for the bits for three reasons ...first you see I cautions builders on the website about the Plastimo list!! you will not need 750mtrs of ropes
