Idle speculation - custom foils

Speculation turns into something close to reality. I thought this was interesting

I ordered a one-off manufacture of a foil. It was a design that already existed but was not put into production. I ordered 1, it was constructed and finished for £746 and it took 2-3 weeks from order to delivery. This is cheaper than the Art v2 retail price at £835, and the exact foil I wanted to replace.

I’m surprised that UK made one off foil can beat 10% retail of a mass produced foil. Fwiw this is manufactured by Maguire who build world championship moth class winning boats and foils, to much higher demands than the average foil.

Full review to follow, but so far I’m absolutely stoked. The exact foil that Axis seems incapable of making.
